borrowed time

Yesterday, I was in the car listening to music. A song came on that I had never heard, but one line jumped out at me “Love like I’m on borrowed time.” There is no better reminder of this than when someone you care about passes away unexpectedly.

Sometimes it’s a struggle to love that way. The people that we care about will test our boundaries and push us to our limits...but it's worth it because it allows you to live with no regrets.

For me, that means to be patient and kind; to never let anger get the best of me; to offer forgiveness regardless of the circumstances and to never take someone for granted. It invokes a sense of peace in knowing that, at the end of the day, I have done everything that I can to show the people in my life that I care.

Never waste an opportunity to tell someone that you love them. After all, when it comes down to it, aren’t we all on borrowed time?
