This is the truest thing I've ever read. It doesn't matter how long you live ... what matters is what you do while you're alive and what you leave behind when you're gone.

JOY
Before you can live a part of you has to die. You have to let go of what could have been, how you should have acted and what you wish you would have said differently. You have to accept that you can’t change the past experiences, opinions of others at that moment in time or outcomes from their choices or yours. When you finally recognize that truth, then you will understand the true meaning of forgiveness of yourself and others. From this point you will finally be free. #<Author:0x00007fd35187d508>
