We are here for but a short time but if you are fighting against the wind of change, it can feel like a life-sentence.
Instead of an adventure.
It should feel like a wonderful adventure.
You have been growing and changing since the day you were born, nothing new there. Embrace the changes, embrace the years, embrace the adventures and the doors that open for you.
Walk through them.
Do not go gently into the night.
Go with laughter, with spirit, with joy in your heart.
Go with the twinkle still in your eye and the humour in your heart.
Go with the excitement of the new, the memory of the old and the comfort of the circle of life.
Do not go gently into the night.
Go out with a blast, burn brightly, love fiercely, live loudly.
Do not gently into the night.
Do not go burdened either.
Release the bonds that tie you, break the chains that bind you and put down your heavy load.
You do not need it, any of it.
Do not go gently into the night, my friend. Go out in a blaze of glory.
