When pressures up and the stress is high
and I wanna bid this world good bye
I'm gonna bury my frustrations
grab some of life's satisfactions
yeah I'm gonna live before I die
I try to find some peace of mind
when my life's treating me unkind
pain will be my motivation
I'm gonna use my imagination
yeah I'm gonna live before I die
[Chorus:]
So close your eyes, and embrace your memories
leave your troubles and your worries far behind
stop contemplating, start celebrating
yeah you gotta live before you die
I think of chances I didn't take
I try to learn from my mistakes, yeah
I'm tired of being pushed around now
life ain't gonna drag me down now
yeah, I'm gonna live before I die

This song strikes me every time I her it, I think it's lyrics couldn't be a better advice. We have to start living now and stop let the life pass by in front of our eyes.
But despite knowing this, I feel that I don't have the strength to do it. I barely can get done with my duties at school, and can't find energy to do anything else. I really don't know how to change my mindset and take the initiative.
