(no subject)
my thoughts, as i promised:
in one million seconds
i will be 11 days older.
in one billion seconds,
i will be 48 years old.
32 years older than i am now.
although a week and one half may
not seem so long, many things
can happen:
change
realization
hate
love
conversation...
people talk all the time.
so many lives are being lived
stories told,
each day.
this very second someone has died.
death.
wow.
you never met that someone ^ though.
What if you did?
Would you be friends?
how about enemies?
would you laugh together,
hurt each other?
you will never know
you will never meet him or her
you will never laugh with him,
or her.
you will never.
one less possible friend.
Friends lie.
but you stay friends.
why is that?
They talk badly about you
when you arent there.
It would be so different if you were.
If you had the opportunity
to hear the
rudest thing, a friend said
about you,
would you listen?
I wouldnt.
I trust my friends
I believe in trust
I trust lies...
why is that?
something is keeping you with your friends
some
connection
keeps you strong.
But just think
of the difference it would
make if that person
who died this second
was your friend.
in this week and one half.
nothing would be the same...
...or so it would seem.
you would get over it.
eventually.
but no, not forget
in one billion seconds
it will be a mere memory,
maybe forgotten,
not noticed,
not functioning,
but it'll still exist.
maybe 11 days and 32 years
are not as far apart as we think,
we will still be the same
living
breathing human being,
(that is,
if we are not the ones who die before
everyone else)
we'll still have memories,
as we do now,
we'll have a friend
or two.
we will even trust lies.
and someone we know will die
time is so vast,
but so small at the same time.
make use of it.
