Live.
"Omg! I did that?! NO FREAKING WAY"
But seriously guys, if you haven't notice, I've changed my blog's domain name to "littledidrachelknow" because it's the truth, I know very little. Whatever I do know or learn from my experiences, I'd be more than happy to let everyone know what I already do know. And yes, I bet you guys are all super curious about my blog title, "audeat vivere" BUT it is a secret (unless you've already google translate it).
"No Rachel please tell us what it means! Please please, I'm so curious I need to know what it is! Please do tell us!!!"
Alright alright, I'll put you guys out of your misery since y'all are so insistent to know, jeez. To get right to the point, "audeat vivere" means "dare to live" in Latin. Now, why in Latin you may ask? Hmm. I just think it sounds and looks much cooler in a foreign language, seriously. That's it. English is boring, it's lame. Am I a "hipster" now? lol. All I had to do was type in "dare to live" and translate it to different languages. I tried Italian, Spanish, Greek, Hebrew, Macedonian? I don't know, but none of them looked and sounded as cool as the Latin one. When the lady in google translate said it, it sounded so good (eargasm) even though she's monotone but, it sounded so freaking cool, I had to use it in Latin.
On a serious note, I used "dare to live" because, let's face it, we're a bunch of cowards who are just existing on Earth. We're not actually living. How many of you would say that you're actually living your life right now? If you're raising your hand up (even though I didn't ask you to), you're either lying or maybe you really are living your life which in that case, good for you. As for the rest of us with our hands down, well, I'm glad that you're aware now. Neither am I seizing the day AT ALL, I'm just watching the days in my life go by me until I begin college and the worst part is that I'm freaking aware of that. I have no idea what to do everyday because I wake up, eat, go to work, come back, eat and then sleep. NOPE, No yelling at the top of my lungs, "CARPE DIEM!!!!" and all of that shit. The only thing that probably excites me every day is what I'm going to make for brunch the next day! How fan-freaking-tastic is that? :D Guess what I'm making for brunch tomorrow :3 *DRUM ROLLS*
BANANA OATMEAL! :3
(it's good stuff though)
Since I'm blogging about how we should live more and not just exist, I'll try from today onwards to change up my life. Try to make it a little bit more exciting, even if its planning what to cook for brunch, changing things up at work or just enjoying the long ass traffic jam back home. Admit it guys, we don't take risk because we're afraid, we just want our long ass day to be over and done with. We wait for the goddamn week to pass, looking forward to the weekend only to find out that you're just gonna stay at home any way because no one wants to go out with you. Our life just sounds a hundred times sadder doesn't it? Many of you are still in school or maybe at work or if you're stuck with a set daily routine you have to sit through every day, yes it sucks, like shit. But take this opportunity to change things up, I don't know, do something different even if it means getting in a little bit of trouble. Prank your teacher/boss, spray whip cream at someone, I don't know! Just live! I know it's not easy but don't you want to go back to bed every night knowing that you've made the best out of your day/week? I go to sleep every night thinking, "Shit, I have work tomorrow UGHH..." and it puts me in a bad mood automatically and I hate that feeling. But coming to realise this, I'll try from now on to think "What shall I do before work/after work tomorrow?"
Yeah we're still young but how long do we have to keep thinking that we are still young? You want to be seventy with your tits sagging down to your knees or with your beer belly protruding out but still feel young to scream at the top of your lungs, " I FEEL FUCKING YOUNG!" Don't keep thinking that you still have a long life ahead of you, because (touchwood), you never know what can happen to you. Plus, time is flying so fucking fast, it feels so unreal. Cliche as it sounds, live everyday like its your last day. Change things up in your daily routine, even if in the smallest possible ways. "Adventure is dangerous but routine is lethal." If you're gonna just exist like a freaking robot, doing the same damn thing everyday, you're good as dead already. If you have no idea where to start, maybe you can start off by putting down your goddamn phone for awhile and actually socialise with someone. That's a great start :) Make life exciting by talking to people with your mouth, never know where it can take you ;)
I'll try to add on more personal things when I start college or maybe just bits and pieces of my daily life if you guys are interested. For now, always count your blessings and live everyday as if it's your last. Live, don't just exist. Don't waste your life way and die knowing that you just wasted all those years for nothing.
Thank you for reading until the end, hehe.
Love Rachel*
