“He is out of his mind.” Mark‬ ‭3:21‬

Since last year, I started riding the bandwagon of the saying YOLO - "You Only Live Once". I did all the crazy and out-of-this-world stuff. I spent all my personal savings to go to Japan, buy merchandise, travel every three months, party all night, drink all you can, eat all you can and many more. All this in belief that we only live once. If you don't get to do things in this life, when?

It was also the time when I realized that indeed, we only live once. On a more serious note, how can I make this life count? How can I say that in the end, my life was not in vain?

One of the "crazy" things I did was to have one whole week a month of work. Five days spent on my day job, part-time teaching on Saturdays, attend my classes for my master's degree on Sundays. Who's sane enough to not want to have a weekend? Guess, it's not me. But why did I want to live this crazy lifestyle? Because it's here where I find fulfillment in life. Inside me is a fire burning to reach out to people and share my life. I feel like with this crazy stunt, I can reach out to people and share a piece of me with a hope that it can help them out or at least make them smile. If I can do that, I can say that I had a life well-lived.

YOLO, my friends. Let's make it count.

Father in Heaven, you gave us this gift of life. Grant us your guidance so we can live it to the fullest.
