“This is no dress rehearsal.”
“Life is not a dress rehearsal.”
“After I took two pees- 'cause the news of this mandatory dress rehearsal was way too big of a nuclear bomb to just take one- we made plans to meet by the Fountain before the dress rehearsal began to get our act together.”
“But I knew how the play would come out. This was like a dress rehearsal after the show has closed down.”
“You have to do what you love to do, not get stuck in that comfort zone of a regular job. Life is not a dress rehearsal. This is it.”
