???????????????????
I have been thinking a lot lately. About life; Right now, the future, sports, college, friends, family. Everything imaginable. And I wonder what this is all leading up too. What if we could know the die we were going to die? If someone were to hand you an envelope tomorrow that told you the date you were going to die, would you take it? And if you did take it, would you do everything you wanted to do the week before you were supposed to die? Would you risk your life several times a couple of days before, knowing you weren't going to die? Or would you spend the time with your family? Your friends? Would you say everything you've ever wanted to say to everyone? Would you stop worrying about how something made you look, and tak every risk you've wanted to take?
Unfortunatly, none of us have that opportunity. We don't know if we're going to be gone 100 years from now or tomorrow. But what if...it is tomorrow? Should we all live like that today? Maybe we should all assume it IS TOMORROW, and start living for today. Start doing and saying what we've always wanted to do and say.
Why do we allow ourselves to miss someone far away and debate whether to call them? Why do we decide not to tell someone how we feel, in fear of how they feel about us, or how we feel? Why do we hesitate to do the best we possibly can in everything we do? Why do we go to sleep...being worried about being tired tomorrow. What is tomorrow?? It's a hope. Not a guarantee.
Why do we stress about what college we'll get into, and getting into the perfect college. College is going to be what we make of it no matter where we end up. Does it really matter if we go to Harvard or don't go to college at all? My dad never went to college. My brother went to Bates for 4 years. They do the exact same job. If you apply for a job and have Harvard on your application and someone else has UNH and the UNH person comes in and interviews better and seems more passionate about the job, they are going to get it. The school you go to doesn't define you. YOU define YOU. As long as you continue to do what makes you happy and follow your heart, you'll end up in the right place.
Why do we shut people out of our lives? Why?
Why is everything we do measured in numbers rather than words?? How much can you tell about a person from numbers? Grades, Height, Weight, SAT scores, GPA, Shot percentage, Goal percentage, salary. How much do any of those thing's tell about a person? I'm talking about a person's character, morals, beliefs, thing's that make them tick. NOTHING. Absolutely nothing.
Why don't we take the time to look beyond the numbers? Why is it all about numbers in so many aspects of life?
Why are people un-lucky? Why do 8 year olds get cancer? Why does karma not always come back around?
What would you do if you could get an envelope tomorrow with the date you were going to die? What if you couldn't............
