YOLO...Not
I just wanted to put this out there.
The term 'YOLO' is apparently short for "You Only Live Once." But this is not true.
You live every day.
You only die once.
So, therefore, the correct term is YODO.
It's also true that you only will live this day once, so, another term would be YOWLTDO.
I guess that what I'm getting at is, that we should all learn to treasure the more precious and unnoticed things, such as days instead of life times. Instead of screaming YOLO at people and twerking on a wall, we should remember to make our days the best and other's days the best as well. We should learn to remember that YOLO has become a reason for society to smoke, to jump off of cliffs, and to do things that aren't good for them.
So, instead of YOLO, say YOWLTDO. It even sounds better.
I guess I've said what I've needed to say.
I feel better.
P.S. The only good use for YOLO is turning turnips into friendly creatures. I named a turnip YOLO, and it turned out quite well. Just a tip.
