You Only Live Once.
The inspiration for anything from skydiving to
one-night-stands, “YOLO” has become one of the favorite hashtag-maxims of this
generation. It makes sense. Too many of us spend life standing on the
sidelines, watching others seize opportunities we ourselves are too afraid to
chance, allowing the parade of days and years to float past us. We need something
to get us in the game, an energy drink for the soul, a kick in the inner
constitution. We need a 4-letter reminder that we only get one shot at this
crazy existence and that we had better start giving it all we’ve got.
“You are never going to see these people again,” says the
blind cosmos. “So who cares what they think?”
