Living life

Author’s note: This quote makes me wonder about a lot of things. Like how fun would it be to dance out in the rain. Or how do you ignore pain? When you read it think of all the questions that you can think of, or what comes to mind when reading?

This is one of my favorite quotes. When I first read this quote it reminded me about having fun and being a kid. How the author says laugh your heart out with friends and family, and cherish the memories, that you have with them. People can relate to this quote because everyone forgets and everyone forgives at least once in their lives. It is true how you only have one life to live, so make the best of it.
