I agree with this 100%. There is a line in Strictly Ballroom that says it all. "We lived our lives in fear!" I don't want to do that any more.

This says it all.

3 years from now, you will look back & admit that you spent an entire year of your life wearing a mask, cooped up in your house & avoiding all the people you love. A year in your life that you’ll never get back.

And let me say this, I am not saying this virus isn’t real, or that there aren’t people that could really be affected. If you’re at risk, take precautions, stay home when sick, absolutely. Every single day is a risk. Car accident, flu, etc.

Our days were numbered from the moment we took our first breath. Life isn’t a race where we win against the inevitable! That has not changed since the beginning of time!

BUT, we should not be forced to live in fear. We went from being a free nation to being told we couldn’t go to school, couldn’t go to church, couldn’t go to our grandma's house, couldn’t pay respects to a loved one through a funeral.... and when we were allowed to do these things, we were told how long we could be there, how far apart we have to be, what to wear...

Yes, our health matters. But you know what else matters?

Family. Friends. Church. School. Baseball games. Family vacations. Neighborhood BBQs. Life. Fitness.

One day, you’ll hug your grandma, mom, dad, or brother for the last time. One day, your best friend will cry on your shoulder for the last time. One day, your child will play their last baseball game. One day, they’ll have their last day of school. One day, you’ll spend your last day laughing with a loved one. One day, you’ll dance your last dance.

Don’t waste the days you have by living in fear.

Your time here on earth matters. 

Live your life while you have the chance. God is gonna call you home when it’s your time. Virus or no virus.
