Hope you are happy

“Live life to the fullest,” that is something everyone has heard at least once. We are all told to live a life you will not regret, one that gives you different feelings and emotions, one that you'll be interested in telling and listening to. Live your best life because there is only one. Even though we are told this daily, sometimes we don't apply it. We take things as if they were going to stay forever and we erase from our head the fact that in one second everything you know can change.
During the short years that I've been alive, I've tried to find the key to how to live life to the fullest. I concluded that in order to do this, we have to build ourselves into the person we truly are. It is never too late or too early to be whoever you want to be; of course, as long as you don't hurt anyone. Remember there are no rules to this, no right or wrong, you can dress as you want, talk the way you like, do the things that inspire you, be with the people you really love, and create your personality in the way you like it. It doesn't matter what others think; it doesn't matter what others say. If you're happy with yourself, then no one’s opinion matters.
Another thing you can do is to be an open-minded person. Be open to changes in your life, be open to adversity, be open to new opportunities, be open to new people, and new adventures. Never let yourself regret not doing something, never let yourself lose an opportunity because you are too scared. Do it! Send that university application, write to that one person, send that work you are proud of, paint your hair, start your business, publish that picture. Allow yourself to find the path that leads to your happiness, the path in which all your dreams come true.
Nevertheless, don't forget that as far as we know there is only one life; and therefore, the only thing we have is the present. Don't focus on the past, it is already gone. Don't live in the future, don't leave things for tomorrow. Stay in the present, live today, you’ll worry about tomorrow the next day. Finally, I hope you make the best out of every situation, I hope you follow your dreams, I hope you feel things you have never felt before, I hope you try things that startle you, I hope you meet people that are different from you, I hope you live a life you're proud of, or that you dare to start living that life know. To everyone reading this, I really hope you are happy.
