Living Louder

If you know me at all you know that I relate a lot of things in my life to music! What can I say I love music haha! My absolute favorite band The Cab came out with their new album Symphony Soldier last week and I must say that it is an amazing album, it's so good and it is kind of deep! So there is this one song on the album called "Living Louder" the whole song is great, it has a really good message to it. Part of the song says

"My only regret
Is having regrets
Traveled the world
I loved every step
And all I know is...

No one, no lives forever
But we will be remembered
For what we do right now

Baby, I'm living louder
And dreaming longer tonight
And baby, I'm fighting harder
And loving stronger tonight

Because we're all just kids
Who grew up way too fast
Yeah, the good die young
But the great will always last"

When I heard this it hit me and made me think a lot. It made me think if I were to die tomorrow how would I be remembered? What would my family and friends think of me as? Am I living a life that I am happy with being remembered by? I would like to think that I am. But this is true so much of it. One line made me think of my group of friends, "Because we're all just kids who grew up way too fast" That is so true, I am in shock at the fact that I will be 23 in a month, it is so crazy, for the most part all of my friends are in their twenties, and it is weird to think that some of us have been hanging out since I was 14, back then we used to think of what it would be like to be the twenty year old people, and now here we are, where did the time go? Just realizing that time goes by so fast makes me realize life is a gift and not to take it for granted. I am gonna start being the best Ryan that I can be and I know that with the support of my friends and family it should be a pretty easy thing to do! We all need to live life to the fullest, do not live with regrets, move on from mistakes and don't let them weigh you down, repentance is a marvelous thing! So live your life as if there is no tomorrow, live the way you will want to be remembered!
