Hear me.

So you hear it every day;
it's the same line.

"Don't take people for granted."
"Live life to the fullest."

Ha, Guess what! It's true.
How cliché.

Many of you know my "situation" (Oh, I loathe that), and many of you can not understand. But some of you can. And to those I speak:
Do not take people for granted.
Always tell your parents you love them.
Do not be selfish.
Never let arguments come between relationships.

I hate talking like this; I feel like some drug-store copy of 10 Ways to be Happy.

But, this past week I collided with reality, and lost badly. All those little lines came from somewhere, because someone once meant them. And I mean them now. I beg you, take me seriously. Please never hear me saying that I am by any means wiser than anyone; I have merely had a new experience, and what is an experience if people cannot learn from it? Therefore, I beg you: LEARN!

You never know when death will show it's ugly face,
and oh, is it ugly.

But, in all the darkness of death, I have a hope. I know the end is not the end, and in every crater of death lies a glimmer of light, because I know a Savior. I know a Lord that conquered death.

Because He died, my mom can die. And it's okay.

This is a powerful thing, this hope, but I would far rather believe in something nonexistent, than not believe in something that does exist. For, with the latter you lose everything and gain nothing, and with the former you lose nothing, for there is nothing to lose.

You only gain worth.
