This is what I'm supposed to be doing this summer. This is how I'm supposed to be passing my days. Figuring out the secret to how she was the most joyful person when she was dying. Because I'm living, and I sure as hell don't have a clue how to feel anything but empty. Daisy Whitney
About This Quote

The world is filled with hope, but the reality is that we spend most of our time worrying about what people think of us. One quote, which comes from the movie "The Bucket List," says it best: "We worry about death because we are alive." We all worry about what our future holds, and whether we'll make the right choices. But this quote is for those who are living now. We may not be able to change the future, but we can change our reaction to certain situations.

If you're depressed or sad, try to remember that life is precious. Try to live every day as if it's your last. When you die, you won't be able to feel the same joy you feel now.
