Monologue- Catherine Cespedes

 

You only live once right? Yea, I plan on making it a good life. Sure there’s a million responsibilities, but I think to much of life is concerned with pleasing others, your proffessors, peers, parents. Ugh yea so what am I going to do about it? Well, I could get super stressed, freak out about grades, focus on what others will think of me, no thanks. So what sometimes I like to be completely random and be a clown, don’t want to hear the gossip on what your ex-boyfriend did or said, or count how many calories my sandwich has. I rather be told a funny story, something interesting or new in your life than some complaint on how much life sucks. When I get older, I want to go out and see the world; go to places you read about in your textbook and watch on the national geographic channel, there’s only so many good things you can do with the time you’re given. I don’t want to limit myself because half of things people do today were once said to be impossible. I mean everyday we get opportunites to do something new almost everyday, take a risk, overcome a fear. I have a crazy phobia of heights, and next thing I knew I was standing on top of a twenty foot high rock ready to jump into a river. Why did I do this to myself? I wanted to turn around and walk away from it all but then realized, when am I going to really have this exact opportunity again and realized never. I dont want to let silly things get the best of me or bring me down. Seriously, when i’m 95 years old and look back on my life, I dont want to have regrets or go “Oh I should have…”, I want to take my chances, smile way to much, laugh till it hurts, and just enjoy every second I have.
