Before the Coffee Gets Cold

Don’t leave anything for later.
Later, the coffee gets cold.
Later, you lose interest.
Later, the day turns into night.
Later, people grow up.
Latre, people grow old.
Later, life goes by.
Latre, you regret not doing something…
When you had the chance.

Life is a fleeting dance, a delicate balance of moments that unfold
before us, never to return in quite the same way again.


Regret is a bitter pill to swallow, a weight that bears down upon
the soul with the burden of missed chances and unspoken words.

So, let us not leave anything for later. Let us seize the moments as
they come, with hearts open and arms outstretched to embrace the
possibilities that lie before us. For in the end, it is not the things
we did that we regret, but the things we left undone, the words left
unspoken, the dreams left unfulfilled.
