About Life & Living

If I could live my life again,
In the next I'll try to make more mistakes,
I won't try to be so perfect.
I will be more relaxed,
I'll be more full than I am now.
In fact, I will take fewer things seriously,
I'll be less hygenic, I'll take more risks,
I'll watch more sunsets,
I'll climb more mountains,
I'll swim more rivers,
I'll go to more places I've never been,
I'll eat more ice creams and less beans,
I'll have more real problems and less imaginary ones

I was one of those people who lived prudent and prolific lives,
each and every minute of his life.
Of course I've had moments of joy,
but if I could go back, I'll try to have only good moments.

In case you don't know, that's what life is made of: moments.
Don't lose it now..

I was one of those who never goes anywhere
Without a thermometer,
Without a hotwater bottle,
Without an umbrella and without a parachute.

If I could live again, I will travel light
If I could live again, I will try to walk barefoot
At the beginning of spring, till the end of autumn
I'll ride more carts,
I'll watch more sunrises and play with more children
If I have the life to live, but now I'm 85,
and I know I'm dying.
--- Jorge Luis Borges
