If you're reading this take a second from reading and realize that you're reading this because you have life.................................................Be thankful for that!
I'm 25 years old, some may argue and say that I'm young, but to me I'm quite old. I have older siblings, older friends, my mother, father, aunts, uncles and so many other people are older than me, but that just means we're all old, regardless of who's older.
I'm sure you're wondering why I'm considering myself old. Well, to be honest, it's only over the recent years I've realized how lucky I am to be able to be alive at this age. More and more over the years I've seen families torn to bits, friends losing their friends, parents devastated, all because their young child, family, friend was taken away from them.
I've had friends that didn't get the opportunity to see where the end of their road leads. I've seen people lose loved ones 1 after the other, cut short of potentials that COULD HAVE BEEN!
Over and over and over and over and over..........
I wanted them to grow up, grow old....I want you to grow up, grow old.....I want to grow up, grow old.
I'm not writing this to tell you to change the way you live or to stop doing what you're doing or to cast blame on anyone for their lifestyle and why their life was short-lived. I just want to open your eyes, I want you to see what's in front of you, I want you to know that every single day you live is a gift - "A PRIVILEGE"........
Experiencing teenage life is a privilege, experiencing the young adult stages is a privilege, becoming a man/ woman is a privilege, growing old is the most valuable privilege of them all. What is really happening? What ever happened to "children burying their parents"? Nowadays it seems as though parents are constantly burying their children, friends are losing that 1 extra person in their life who's supposed to be telling "when we were your age" stories to their kids, to YOUR kids, to MY kids!
BUT there's a chance you won't be there with your friends/ family or you're friends won't be there with you, so give each other happy stories to tell. Give each other the opportunity to tell their kids about what an amazing person you were. Give them as much stories as you can. Stories of how happy you were, how fun you were, how thoughtful, nice, full of smiles, helpful.......stories of how you lived your life to the fullest each and every day! Live a life that every picture can justify those happy stories!!
You're alive to live, living is your only purpose - and when I say "living" I don't mean just existing, I mean using every single breath to its full potential. Everyone will have their own way of living, no way is wrong and no way is right AS LONG AS YOU'RE HAPPY! Just remember that every day of your life is a gift, every day is a chance to share happiness and create memories that lives on for you!
Live In Peace so you can Rest In Peace knowing you left nothing but great memories to live on!
