Laugh when you are happy—without guilt, without hesitation. Cry when you are sad—without shame, without restraint. Do not silence your emotions for the comfort of others, because no matter what you do, people will always have something to say. Their thoughts will shift like the wind, but your feelings, your experiences and your truth are yours alone.
Life is not meant to be lived according to someone else’s expectations. It is meant to be felt—deeply, fully and unapologetically. You were not given emotions just to suppress them, nor were you given dreams just to fear them.
When the final moment comes, when you lie on your deathbed, you will not have to justify your life to anyone but yourself. No opinion, no judgment, no fleeting whispers of society will matter. The only thing that will weigh on your heart is this: Did I truly live?
Real regret is not failure. It is never having tried. It is realizing too late that you wasted the precious gift of life—not because you couldn’t chase your dreams, but because you never even dared to believe in them. Fear of failure is not the real enemy. The real enemy is the fear that keeps you from even trying.
So laugh loudly. Cry openly. Dream fearlessly. And most of all, live—a life that is truly yours.
