Nothing to Lose

I have realized that in this short life we have nothing to lose.  Dive into new things and make brand new friends.  Speak the truth, be kind, and spread love.  After all, what do you have to lose?

Laugh more than you cry, but cry when necessary.  Take a break.  Go on an adventure.  After all, what do you have to lose?

Travel the world.  Sit in your bed and watch movies all day.  Write a story.  Read a book.  After all, what do you have to lose?

Go on a run.  Lay out to stargaze.  Take a nap.  Stay up all night talking to friends.  After all, what do you have to lose?

Eat good food.  Go to bed early.  Sing a song.  Play with a small child.  Walk the dog.  After all, what do you have to lose?

Nothing, right?  Those are the easy things.  They're the things that affect you.  But what about others?  Do you have something to lose?

Take a stand.  Protect the ones you love.  Be brave.  Be mature.  After all, what do you have to lose?

Support something you believe in.  Speak the words you believe to be true.  Live out your morals and keep your standards high.  After all, you've got everything to lose.  But if you stay a sincere and genuine person, the world somehow will repay you in wondrous ways.
