In this excerpt from Mrs. Dalloway, they explain that everything in life is something to remember. Each and everyday has something fulfilling and memorable in it. This novel displays that all the thoughts and actions of a single day are very significant. The very slow moving story conveys that within each hour there are numerous events that will trigger feelings and memories from other periods in your life, linking together your entire life. "Every drop" of life is unique and you should capture all them, because like Virginia Woolf explains in The Life of a Moth, life is fragile and can be taken from you at any moment. So for everyone reading this right now, YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE, I don't care how of a cliche you think this is. Because truly, make the best of your life; stay up until two on a school night watching your favorite tv shows; go to a concert on a Sunday night when you still have homework (like I'm currently doing). Enjoy your young years, eventually you will grow up and have to deal with grown up things. So for now just live. Ps: I wrote this while waiting for the concert to come on, so if that isn't a definition for living life as it goes than I don't know what is.
