Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
To this day, its one of the most inspiring speeches I ever seen.
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
….No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don’t want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life’s change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”
No matter how fast you feel your days passing you by, there is always time for everything…EVERYTHING.
This photo depresses me but at the same time it tells a thousand stories.This was taken after the legendary Michael Jordan himself, had found out that his father had passed away. It’s hard to see some one I idolize in an image like this. But it also tells the truth that no matter how great or invincible someone or something can be, there will be something that will bring them down.
The only thing that separates ordinary from legendary is the ability get back up after a dark event in one’s life.
We have seen him struggle but we have never seen him fall, that’s why Michael Jordan is a living legend …
Jordan is my idol

TL;DR
Not even a year living away from home and I’m going to have to move back home because I can’t afford it. I have no money for anything anymore. My eye is red and swollen and I can’t even afford to go to the eye doctor. I have $70 in my account til I get paid Friday and even when I get paid, that goes to paying my mom back for covering the $200 worth of work my car just needed.
I’m upset with myself because I thought I was doing so well. I thought that starting my new job would get me so much more money, and it didn’t. Well, a little bit but not as much as I need. Between rent and student loans and car insurance and utilities and mother fucking GAS, I have about $100/month for food. No kind of life-living there :/
I’m going to be 24 in August and I will be moving back in with my mom. My mom has no problem with it, she offered it to me and said I could live there for a few months while I saved money to figure out my next steps. My sister, who I live with now, well… she’s a whole different story. She makes twice as much as I do but will not help me out— and I don’t expect her too. I don’t want to feel like I owe her for anything. But what bothers me is that her boyfriend is over here 75% of the time, he should just fucking move in, and then we could split the rent 3 ways. I could pull that… but it won’t happen. My sister is too proud and stubborn and she would never, EVER ask her boyfriend to pay for his time here.
So, I’m upset. To everyone who knows me, I will now be the girl who cannot afford to be an adult yet, who had a taste of freedom and now has to move back in with her mother because she’s broke.
I AM grateful I have options, grateful that I have a place to stay and people who care about me and want to help me out.
Just can’t shake this depressing feeling of failure.
That’s all. TL;DR. Sorry.
