It is time - Carpe Diem

Shared from a courageous friend who is living his life the way he wants it.

Life is short
Break the rules
Forgive quickly
Kiss passionately, love truly
Laugh constantly
And never stop smiling
No matter how strange life is
Life is not always the party we expected to be
But as long as we are here, we should smile and be grateful.


The girl in the video clip is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21 . Her fiancé, Nick is 23 and is in love with her since the 11th grade (16 years old). Their wedding ceremony, held on January 11, 2005 in the US. Katie has terminal cancer and spends hours a day receiving medication.


Katie died five days after her wedding day. Watching a women so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think..... Happiness is reachable, no matter how long it last. We should stop making our lives complicated.


After watching this video, I realised that though I often say Carpe Diem ~ Seize the Day, I am nothing short of a procrastinator where I have a tee shirt that goes, Procrastinators Unite!...Tomorrow.
So life is short, embrace it like it's going to slip away from you anytime.
