Due to recent events, death and sadness have been a pretty common conversation.
I am done with it.
I am about to say something very important, make sure you are paying attention.
YOU ARE GOING TO DIE.
Did you catch that? You are going to die!
That’s right, it’s true.
Everybody that ever has and ever will live will also die.
Death is sad, but only if you make it sad.
Most people know somebody that died. You were probably sad when you found out, right? But after awhile you stopped being sad and you accepted that they were gone.
That is the most important part of all.
You accept that they are gone, you stop being sad, and you remember that once upon a time, they lived.
If you only focus on the death, you will never get over it and you won’t be happy.
Death should be scary. If you don’t live knowing that you will die, you will be scared of death for the wrong reason. Death is scary because it drives you to what you wouldn’t if you didn’t know you were going to die.
Be scared of every decision you didn’t make because you were too afraid to just try.
Every girl you never kissed, every trip you never took, every friend you didn’t make because you were afraid to try.
A Final Recap on Death:
1. YOU ARE GOING TO DIE!
2. Death is sad, until you accept it.
3. Remember them for living, not for dying.
4. Death is scary, but not as scary as living knowing you could have tried.
5. Regretting what you didn’t do is worse than regretting what you did.
6. You aren’t dead yet, make the right choices, do what you can while you can.
