" In order to write about life first you must live it. "

In order to write about an adventure, you need to go for it. To write about a dish, you must eat it. To write about love, you must fall in love first. To write about a fight, you need to fight it first. And what is bigger fight than life itself. 

So before writing about it, live it.

Fall and rise and try and try and then cry a little, laugh loud and sing and dance. Meet your first, present and last mistake, kiss your first kiss, paint and write and doodle and cuddle, cuddle a lot! Jump in the puddle and spoil your white pant, prepare a week for a presentation and still fumble, start that start up and screw up! Love a lot and get dumped and write about it, write about him or her and cry a little and then revive and know that you're full even if broken on edges.

Show yourself that somethings might be completely screwed up and yet mesmerizing and beautiful. Live life and make mistakes and grow beautiful, then afcourse and only then write about it!
