I lay in bed tonight thinking about time... and how little of it we have if you really think about it. A human life in relation to the history of the world is less than a blink of an eye...and that kind of scares me. It brought me to think about death...and it felt really dark. All I could think about is what would happen after I passed away... what would be of me after death... I guess if there was a proven answer to that question i'd never think twice about it, because i'd know, but the unknown is always scary. Thinking of death helps me cherish and be thankful for every moment i'm alive, whether it is good or bad, happy or sad... it's a moment spent that billions of people no longer get to spend alive. It makes me feel happy that I have the friends I have, to spend time with, and to make memories with; it makes me value the relationships in my life more than life itself... and it makes me think of how lucky I am to have found a soulmate in my lifetime. If you really think about it, what is a life without someone to live and cherish it with? If you don't have someone to love and live your life with... is it a waste? Does it have much meaning? It's astonishing to think that so many people can go through life... miserable at their existence... and never find their better half, to love... I've found that person, and it brings joy to my heart beyond words to know that I now have someone to live my life with... someone to cherish and love... someone to live for. Looking back at my life before I met her... all I can remember is anguish... longing to find someone to fill the void in my life... someone to love and to love me. Now that I have found that person I can live my life in happiness... and it has been... full of aspiration and forethought of the future. When I think about the future I see a life paved with happiness, everytime I think of the future I always see her in it... and it brings a smile to my face. I think she finally feels the same way, she has let go of her fears and inhibitions and can finally think optimistically about a future with me. Hearing her tell me these things brought tears to my eyes...tears of joy and merriment...
Finding true love is a quest
that many go on and detest
to find it is grand
but you'll have to withstand
the pain that could make you depressed

Take this as you will, it will help me sleep to have put my thoughts down somewhere.
