Think about all the tomorrows in your life.
As human beings, we take most in our lives for granted. All the things that we have now, could be gone in the flash of an eye. We as teenagers think it's the end of the world when our means of communication are taken away from us, such as cell phones, computers, or driving rights. But what if something much bigger is taken from us? We don't understand the fact that these things are really just material items in our life.
We don't realise that the things that are truly important - such as family, friends, and loved ones - are the ones that we don't see as "important". We don't realise it until they're gone. They could be here today and gone tomorrow, in the flash of an eye. I've learned from personal experience that you don't want to say something to someone that you might regret saying.
My friend Adam and I are a perfect example. He died not too long ago on 29 June. He'd been in the hospital for heart problems [just like Nick, if you guys remember him from MyOtaku] and they said he wasn't going to live long after. He was too young to do the surgery needed. The last words I said to him were this: "I hope you know that sometimes I hate you because of that." We were talking about how he made fun of me all the time. The day after, the doctor's called Adam's mom's house, and she called telling me the news.
She picked me up and drove me to the hospital with her, and there was a note on Adam's bed tray. It was directed to me. I keep it with me everywhere I go.
Dear Djayy:
I don't know if this is something you really want to see. Especially after what happened yesterday. You know I really do it cause I care. I know I've really not said something nice to you unless I'm being sarcastic, but I don't like showing things like that. I'm sorry. I love you. And if I should die tonight, I love you.
Take everything you have now and think about what could happen to it tomorrow. If it could be gone, if you could lose it, if anything. You never know; everything changes. Think about all the tomorrows in your life.
