Yeah was recently in Central America visiting some family, my niece came along too and we had a great time together, what I thought was going to be just being there so people could see me ended up being one of the best vacations I've had.
Like you said we've only got one life to live, at some point you decide that you can't sacrifice too much of the now for the future when who knows how much future there is! Weave in some of what makes you happy now too.
My niece wanted to go get tattoos together so I said f it why not?!
So I got a Mario 1UP mushroom tattoo on my ankle because I feel like I've got a new life after my weight loss. Getting a tattoo in central america is the most metal thing I've done lol
