I hereby dedicate this entry to Tiffany mar00n. I love you and feel better my darling! You are amazing <3.

On Tuesday (or Wednesday), a senior from Somer's High School passed away as a result of a car accident on Rt. 118 (if I remember correctly, I wouldn't want to be pulling random digits from my ass).

When I first thought of the situation I didn't think much of it, except that it is so extremely tragic to lose a life... especially one of a student... a student that is about to graduate... to go into the world and do such GREAT THINGS.... And they're gone. It must be so painful for the students, because I'm sure Eric was a great friend to all. It must be so incredibly painful for the parents because they have to bury their own child... one can only imagine the pain.

I've never had anybody close to me pass away before, except for maybe my great-grandmother, but I never really knew her. She would make me shoes and clothing when really far back in the day, but I never really really knew her... I wouldn't know how it would feel to lose a loved one... but I know that I don't want to experience it ever...

I didn't realized how blessed I was... and how I've been taking some things for granted. I love my friends insanely, each and every one of you... and I don't think I'd be able to experience life without you. All of you have taught me something about life, love, and everything else I'll need to know to survive in this f'ed up reality. I'm blessed with people around me who care about me... who will do anything to make me smile... who say that they won't ever want to forget me...

... all of this just made me realize how incredibly short life is, and how many lessons we can pull out of life...

... Live in the moment, and not for the moments to come... once the moment is in control and all the power is put into your hands, your fingertips... do what's right because you may never have that chance ever again.

... Live everyday like it is your last... because who really knows what the future will bring? Today is all that matters and live every moment out to its fullest.

... Live like you've never been hurt before... never dwell on the things that should have happened, could have happened, would have been, could have been... no... those are all in the past and there's no correcting them. Live life with no regrets...

... And if you fall in love... don't forget to tell people how you feel about them. Because you might lose that chance forever and they'll never know. You never know who will still be by your side or will be gone in a split second; life's scary like that. Fall in love slowly, but gently so you don't hit rock bottom. Kiss slowly, savor each and every moment you spend with that person because you'll never know when they'll be taken away from you.

... But most importantly, live in the moment and follow your heart. Never deny your feelings, or instincts; do what your heart tells you to. No matter how insane it drives you. No matter how much you want to fight it... don't ever fight your heart. It may take in circles, but at least you know you'll be doing the right thing.

Live life like there's no tomorrow; follow your heart, love slowly, and regret nothing

OMFG I should become a priest. Ess. Whatever they're called.
