Property of Leighann Kowalsky. All Rights Reserved.We've all heard of 'poetic license', correct? When William Shakespeare would make-up or combine or change the syllable structure to fit into his format? Well I think today's day and age needs to take license beyond that of poetry (which we're not even doing properly anymore, goodness), and take license of life.
My mom always used to tell me" Buy those shoes!" Meaning; sure, we are in financial ruin. You're father has blown his entire retirement and we're holding onto our home by our cracking fingernails. BUT, those shoes are too darn cute, buy them. Similarly, "Eat that cake!" or simply "Do It Anyway". It's a short way of expressing the fact that nobody gets out alive, and we only live once, and it's short as an exhale, so why not spend more time enjoying things like cake and shoes than worrying over dimes and calories?
An old Irish Rock Band used to have a song called "Do It Anyway".
One line is as follows:
"You're scared to tell the world what you're doing here? Do it anyway."
I want to let the world know that I am here.
