STAY YOUNG

Just something I wanna share. I read a book from Mitch Albom and we all know how sad his books can be. I recently finished ''For one more day'' and I have to say that book really made me realise how short life is and how important relationships are. It's about a man who lost his mother and how he didn't get to tell her things he's been keeping to himself. When life went bad for him and he decides to return to his hometown to kill himself, he miraculously found his mother there and the story proceeds. I won't tell you how it goes in case you'd like to read it. Life is really short so don't forget to tell your loved ones you love them and don't let your days slip by because you won't know which one's gonna be your last. So here's a beautiful song for all of you to hear and to all, stay young.

Nothing to lose is a path you can choose and it feels just right at the time. Then one day you awake with a fear you can't shake, you're an actor forgetting your lines. You were a star when you started, so bright eyed and ready but now you just can't seem to shine. Nothing to lose is a path that you choose and it feels just right at the time.
But can you still remember your very first kiss or the future you hoped for when we were still kids? Stay young, stay young. There are constants like gravity, heartbreak and shame, you can never out-run them, they're part of your name like lessons you learn from a past you can't change, stay young, stay young for a lifetime of paying dues and ruthless reviews, yeah it's hard not to end up a cynic when everyone's too scared to walk in your shoes but can work up the nerve to be critics.
Oh, can you still remember your very first kiss or the future you hoped for when we were still kids? Stay young, stay young - no, don't lose you heart. Don't lose your soul. Don't give up control. It's the business end of a loaded gun, facing tomorrows of black, useless lungs with nothing but lies left on tips of our tongues, stay young, stay young! Oh can you still remember your very first kiss or the future you hoped for when we were still kids trying to keep up our innocence in this fucked up world? Stay young...
