“Go and do it, choose to live!”

“I want to choose to live my life, you only get one chance so why ywaste it, why waste your life thinking I wish I’d done something. Do it, get up, get out of your chair, Go and do it!”

“I just want to see what I’m capable of!”

“If you want to do something, you do it, go for it! You don’t have to be in this. I’m swimming against myself, I’m living against myself.”
