If there's one thing I have learned in life, it's that life makes absolutely no freaking sense. Things are thrown at you every day that come out of nowhere. I have found myself in countless situations without fully knowing how I got there. It used to freak me out and strike a fear inside me, a fear that things were going to go terribly wrong. I started walking on eggshells, constantly creeping around corners. Finally, I said, "Forget it." Since then, I've had too much fun.

Life has lately become so vibrant and colorful to me ever since I stopped cautiously moving through it. If you are constantly tip-toeing around problems or awkward situations, you will never fully experience something. I think it's those moments you find yourself running naked into the ocean when it's 40 degrees outside or dancing drunk in a friend's living room at 3 in the morning that make life so awesome. Start taking your embarrassments and turning them into shining moments of glory. If you look stupid dancing, dancer harder. Swing your hair. Scream the lyrics. Move your body. Give people a reason to stare. It's fun.

Super short and slightly stupid/cheesy story: My dad got me a bracelet about five years ago. You were supposed to keep it on until it fell off. When it fell off, it meant you were finally happy. I've never been superstitious, but for some reason, I wore the bracelet for years hoping it would fall off and I would be happy. The other day I had enough and cut it off myself. I cut it off because I was tired of depending on stupid things to get me through life. I've stopped caring. I suggest you do the same.

You have your whole life to work, worry, be tired, be upset, be embarrassed or whatever else. Right now, stop caring. Stop worrying about saying the wrong thing or looking stupid. Say what's on your mind and let loose. Life gets so much better that way. Remember this piece of advice: "Dance naked in public." Don't actually dance naked in public. Just let loose and be vulnerable while having fun with it.
