If i could live again my life,
In the next – I’ll try,
– to make more mistakes,
I won’t try to be so perfect,
I’ll be more relaxed,
I’ll be more full – than I am now,
In fact, I’ll take fewer things seriously,
I’ll be less hygenic,
I’ll take more risks,
I’ll take more trips,
I’ll watch more sunsets,
I’ll climb more mountains,
I’ll swim more rivers,
I’ll go to more places – I’ve never been,
I’ll eat more ice creams and less (lime) beans,
I’ll have more real problems – less imaginary ones,
I was one of those people who live
prudent and prolific lives –
each minute of his life,
Of course I had moments of joy – but,
if I could go back I’ll try to have only good moments
If you don’t know – that’s what life is made of,
Don’t lose that now !….
