“I’m the one that has to die when it’s time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.”—
Jimi Hendrix
I was doing laundry and out of nowhere, I felt the weight of the saying “we live only to die” and of course, it made me think hard about whether I’ve lived my life. Back in high school, I didn’t live life and worked hard towards my uncertain future, up to the point where there was certainly nothing left to be done if I didn’t get the future I wanted. I worked hard and I got what I deserved. Nowadays I’m realizing that I work hard and sometimes I don’t get what I necessarily deserve. Maybe I didn’t work hard enough. Or maybe I just realized I wasn’t living life. I was throwing away my own life for an uncertain future and working hard towards an uncertain outcome but the thing is, everything in life is uncertain. The problem was, I was feeding my brain but not my heart. I was feeding my brain with information only relevant to this time period in this temporary world and depriving my soul of the passion, excitement, and joy that only comes from living life. & thinking back to the past 4 years of my life, I can say that I’m satisfied with how I lived it. My future is extremely uncertain right now and I’m not the type of person to be comfortable with that. But I’ve worked for what I have and I’m going to trust that life will take me wherever I’m supposed to end up. I’ve lived 21 years without regrets and I’m certainly not going to start letting regrets eat me alive now.

Sophia Bush has declared war on Urban Outfitters after they marketted a t-shirt with the words ‘Eat Less’ on the front.
The One Tree Hill actress, in an entry on her personal blog, called for them to issue an apology and make a donation to a charity for eating disorders, and said, “It’s like handing a suicidal person a loaded gun. You should know better.”
Sophia wrote, “To promote starvation? To promote anorexia, which leads to heart disease, bone density loss, and a slew of other health problems, not least of all psychological issues that NEVER go away? Shame on you. I will no longer be shopping at your stores. And I will encourage the tens of thousands of female supporters I have to do the same.”
I love Urban Outfitters but this is amazing. Sophia Bush <3
