You're only young once

Meaning
You can say "you're only young once" when you're trying to persuade someone, or yourself, to do something while you're still young enough to do it.

For example

Jules was trying to talk me into backpacking through Africa with her when she said, "Come on! You're only young once!"

I invited my ninety-year-old grandfather to come fishing with us and he smiled and said, "Oh, why not. You're only young once."

Note
This phrase is more of a cliche than an idiom, but it's still useful for learners to know.
