thought inspired by robyn.
It's scary.
It's scary knowing that you saw someone the day they get in an accident. It's even scarier when the last time you saw them was 20 minutes before it happened. and the worst is when you're in your second and last final of the first semester...and you hear the ambulance siren going off, and you don't know why. and why it lasted so long.
lindsay and i tried to see robyn today, we told the hospital we were her cousins so they would let us in. we couldn't leave the flowers there, but we left a card. when we got there they were running tests, so we weren't allowed to see her. but from what i heard she's going to be all right.
it's a funny thing. life. people. accidents. fate. truth. death. it all seems to make a big circle around our lives that most of us don't even notice. when a friend gets into a car accident you worry about them and want them to be all right. and from that moment on, at least for the next few days, you're a careful driver, and you don't drive as you normally do. because you don't want it to happen to you or to anyone else. *there's siren's going off again* you wonder if anyone else around you is aware of all the damage a car can to do a person.
friends think drinking is totally cool and you get so tripped out and you don't mind throwing up so much. but when i think of someone drinking, i think of all the stupid things that they could do when they're not in the right state of mind. they could have unprotected sex, they could walk into the middle of a road when a car's coming without them even noticing, they could drown in a pool, they could even be so unaware of what they're doing, that they could get in a car and drive. they could kill themselves. and they could kill other innocent people. it doesn't matter who you are or how much liquor it takes for you to get drunk or even tipsy. but that's how i think and feel about people who drink. people do stupid things under the influence of alcohol or drugs. that is my main reasoning for not doing either. it's stupid. and i don't want to be that stupid person who may end up ruining my life or somone elses who doesn't deserve it.
i don't know the facts of robyn's accident. the other driver could've been sober, drunk, or just not paying attention. but whatever the reason, robyn didn't deserve what happened to her. she's a great person with so many great characteristics. as do many other people who end up in the same situations.
i do believe everything happens for a reason. i don't know what the reason is. but there is a reason for everything. it sucks that the things that happen happen to good people.
don't be a stupid person. don't be "joe"
be safe. be curtious. be patient.
take everymoment as it is and life for it. hug everyone you see, even if you don't know them very well. you don't know when you'll see them again.
SMILE. one smile can generate a whole wave of goodness and happiness that can pass to many other people.
tell people "i love you" and mean it. be a friend. be a lover. don't have regrets. there is no day but today.
~peace~
