      <content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote><p>Little notes</p></blockquote>



<p><img src="https://i.snap.as/VYiDeeUU.jpeg" alt=""/></p>

<p>You are going to die.
Tell them you love them.
Get your heart broken.
Then fall in love again.
Have deep talks with strangers.
Leave that job you hate.
Soak in the sunshine.
Empty your savings.
Make new friends.
Go on that trip.
Take that risk.
Go dancing.</p>

<p>This life was meant to be enjoyed
with hope, kindness and love.</p>

<p>Don&#39;t take life too seriously.
We are not coming out of it alive. Well, maybe</p>

<p>Not the way we think. This isn’t the real life. And they one’s not in heaven.</p>

<p>At any rate, it’s too short to wallow in guilt and misery.</p>

<p>Be amazing. Be amazed.</p>

<p>Love. Breathe. Live.</p>

<p>At least we’ll have fond memories.</p>
