I’m not deeply thoughtful about this stuff, but my personal philosophy could be called “positive existentialism.”

I am here. It is amazing that I exist, and have an opportunity to be alive and aware. I don’t want to waste it, and so I try to say “yes” to life. And life comes to us moment by moment, day by day. I don’t want to regret things I’ve done, but I also don’t want to regret things I didn’t do.

I’m not in the position that either of you are in (sorry about that btw) but in a sense we all are, and just don’t realize it yet.

one of the luckiest breaks you can catch in life is to live through something that forces you to realize this.
