YODO- YOU ONLY DIE ONCE
<p>ACHALUGO, YOU ONLY DIE ONCE, SO LIVE EVERY DAY.</p><p>I know you know what YOLO represents. Well, I'm only here to remind you to live but not endorse the vices that we often attribute to LIVING. I de remind una because person follow remind me! I stumbled on my TO-DO LIST from 2023, and I smiled. Sincerely, <em>we won't have more time</em>.</p><p>Being alive is not easy, and there's no guarantee the hustle will ever stop. We are part of the 4AM club who have tied the knot with our jobs so we earn a living, and our families and society will tag us as responsible. <em>What's next after earning a living</em>? Shae we de even live abi we de spend wetin we earn! </p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/images (5).jpeg" alt=""></p><p>I know it's never too late to dream, but sometimes it's late to act on certain dreams. In a certain context, some dreams are time bound. Yoooo, can we all just live? I'm talking to myself and to you; let's just live. Take that run, buy that dress, learn how to swim, go on leave and just farm, learn an instrument, visit a museum, write a poem, share that video, etc. Like Nike, just do it. You will only be 18 once in your lifetime. What's stopping you? I suffer pass no be achievement o.</p><p>Maybe we should redefine what living constitutes. May our legacies not reside only in the names our children bear but in the lives we live. In the end it should be said that we actually LIVED LIFE ALIVE. I'm not saying you should go and borrow from LAPO without a solid plan in the name of I wan live life! Use your head!</p><p><img src="/media/inline_insight_image/IMG-20231109-WA0018.jpg" alt=""></p><p><em>Blessed are the hearers and the doers of the word. </em>I don talk my own finish!</p><p>LiveLifeAlive</p><p>#youstillhavetime</p>
