No Day But Today

When I was a junior in high school, I became obsessed with the musical Rent by Jonathan Larson.  I mean OBSESSED.  I listened to the recording constantly and saw it for the first time in NYC on a school field trip.

Senior year, when it came time to vote for class color, class song, and class motto, mine was submitted and won.  i signed everyone's yearbook next to the saying that year.  I listened to the songs so much my friends had "La Vie Boheme" memorized.

I always felt like these were words to live by.  And I still do today.  The original YOLO, if you will.  We can not let a moment pass without being grateful for our lives and what God has given us.  We will overcome adversity.  We need to love one another.  We need to live each day as if it is our last on this earth.

There's only us.  There's only this.

Forget regret, or life is yours to miss.

No other road, no other way.

No day but today.

~Rent, Finale B
