Granted

Hey..I don't really care who reads this. Its one of those things that you really just have to get something of your chest, no longer caring who is reading or listening...as long as someone is. Today was...well..I don't know. Everything kind of just came to me, a sudden realization if you will. I mean..I think that everyone gets some sort of reality check every once in a while, and today was one of those occasional days. So my friend's great-aunt dies. It hits me like a ton of bricks. I don't know if one of my great-aunts death's hit me as much as this one did, and I didn't even know that this woman existed. All of a sudden I just feel so lucky and grateful for being here. Nature is honestly impartial. It doesn't matter if your dirt poor, filthy rich, young or poor, death is going to come. And it can come any time. Sometimes it's expected, other times it comes as a huge hit in the face. And I don't know, it's just...I feel, right now, so lucky to be alive. With my family that loves me and all of my friends that make my world, my body complete. I can't imagine life without them, and I don't know how I could possibly deal if any of them were gone..I guess what I'm saying is that we're all so lucky to be here, and healthy *knock on wood*. Its so easy, especially in this community, to take this for granted. A home, food, tons of material possesions you couldn't think you could live without. Be grateful. Cherish the moment, and always love.

I guess that was what I was trying to get at.
Have an amazing break, everyone. See you in school.
