If you jump, I'll hold your hand.

Don't look before you leap, just do it. Jump.

Sometimes life gives you lemons. I say, make lemonade. There are tons of things out there for people to live for: money, success, winning, sex, drinking...but some things are better left lived, and not lived for.

These days, it seems like people are getting too caught up in the material things in this world. It seems like every day, everyone cares way too much about the future, way too much about tomorrow, way too much about what people think, and way too much about how they're gonna be judged in the morning when their small town wakes up and reads the morning paper. The way I look at it, you might not even wake up the next morning to read the paper.

So, yes, I'm talking to you right now. You.

Read today's paper. Fly 7,564 miles to see your boyfriend. Stay up all night just for the fun of it. Take too many days off. Schedule a trip to Miami on a week's notice. Drive above the speed limit every once in a while. Go swimming in the winter. Play a sport that you're terrible at. Be cocky. Have an extra beer. Go buy too many pairs of shoes. Take a cold shower. Eat after 10pm. Work a 15 hour shift. Tell a few white lies. Buy a boat. Fall in love. Take a leap of faith. Go with the flow. Shoot for the stars. Dream. Remember to breathe. Don't look back. Today is a gift, that's why it's called the present. Drive 500 miles to see her. Dance, even though you look like an idiot. Sing out loud, even though you sound awful. Send too many text messages. Talk on the phone for 7 hours. Laugh too much. Cry too much. Kiss too much. Go for the gold. Talk to strangers. Play the cards you're dealt. Love life.

Whenever you're ready to jump, I'll be there....waiting for you to grab my hand.
