That's what my sister told me as we discussed Paul Walker's untimely death over the phone a couple of days ago. True amidst all of the fun beautiful things that have happened this year, there's been lots of loss and disappointment. The thing is, it's not only 2013 that been fucked up, it's life itself; Sometimes the weirdest most random things happen in life that just have me throwing my hands up at the Lord giving Him a look that says "Really? Ain't nobody got time for that!"
"You don't get to choose how or when you you are going to die, you can only decide how you are going to live" ~
I read that quote in a CNN post about a letter that the late Farah Fawcett wrote her son and it really stayed with me. R.I.P to all the people we've lost today, yesterday and all the days of the past. May the lives you lived remind us to make use of the time that we have.
As much as life can be freaking hard to understand sometimes, it's also filled with lots of great things. friends, family, love, music, great food... the list is endless. But I've always felt that the pain we go through is what really makes me realize that I am alive and not just living. Those moments when tears are streaming down my face and I can barely breathe are when my whole skin stands on edge and it's almost like an outer body experience where I can literally feel every last part of my being. Dunno if that makes sense, it got me thinking of this poem I wrote ~ Alive
