The Motto
You only live once. YOLO.
There are two general approaches to following this. Both aim to make the best of the life you live, but one misses that mark.
One, is to do whatever you feel like. You think it, you do it. Consequence? Who cares, life is short.
The second, is to remember consequences. Since you only live once, you make the best of this life given to you. You live virtuous....

No matter the vocation
Whether it be the priesthood, married life, or as a religious brother I know that I’m going to cry of happiness when I go through either Holy Matrimony, Holy Orders, or make my vows. No matter what I’m called to be, I know that I’ll be sad for what I don’t get to be. If I’m called to be a priest, the obvious one is no wife or children to call my own. If I’m...

The Unfortunate Truth
Catholics are known to not know the Bible. I just saw a post saying something along the lines of: “You know you’re Catholic when you have 17 Bibles and CCCs (Catechism of the Catholic Church) in your bookshelves.” The first response in my head was, “You know you’re Catholic when you have 17 Bibles and CCCs that seem new and are caked in dust.”
It is so sad to...

Diets
It’s about that time where everyone starts saying something like “I’m going to start a diet and live a better lifestyle for the new year!” As we mostly know, that usually lasts for a bit, then just dies. Stick with it people! It’s hard as heck, but sure is worth it. The feeling of making another hole (or maybe two) in your belt is much better than the satisfaction...
