Dead Quote by Fanny Lai

“Life is short and I want to live every day like it is my last without regrets. At my age, I have had many friends who have passed away. I know that I do not want to work until I drop dead at my desk. I want to live the way I want it to be—free and wild.” quote by Fanny Lai
