Let Yourself Live Your Dreams Now

I recently moved house and found this quote I'd kept from an old magazine. It resonates even more with me now than it did when I first read it.

"Oh my god, what if you wake up some day, and you're 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn't go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination, and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid?

It's going to break your heart. Don't let this happen."
