whoever heard YOLO for the first time and thought it was an exciting idea was bound to eventually forget about it and say "it's just a slogan, life is grind"

when I heard about YOLO for the first time i thought "nice name for what i'm already living by", and when it went, i was sad to see it go.

but before it did, it also became trite. in the beginning it was not unlike the cheerful version of "memento mori": make it count. but now it's the cheerful version of FOMO.
