i don't fear death.
i did once, but the reaper is a stranger right now. i don't know if he is my friend or if he's my enemy, but i've decided i'm not going to meet him right now. yet, while he is a stranger, he is a stranger i will have to meet eventually.
and i will not fear it. i could die tomorrow but maybe i will not, and that is what matters - maybe i won't.
some people die early and people have difficulty accepting it - little things that person will never experience, will never experience again - walking and smelling the flowers or the feeling of soap bubbles on their skin. love, hate, everything that comes with. that saying - live each day like it's your last - it's cheesy. but it's not about going clubbing and taking drugs, taking unnecessary risks. living out your last moments with a bang instead of a fizzle or whimper.
it's about not worrying about not dying tomorrow.
appreciating the fact you have the opportunity to have the experiences you have.
appreciating everything you have in the moment.
appreciating the present.
appreciating.
live each day as a new opportunity, but take the sadness as it comes. it's a bumpy ride, but even a mountain has to come down to a shallow slope eventually.
while i've seen people taken too soon, i've also seen people patiently wait. and yet, a lot of those people who have patiently waited... they're satisfied, because they spent their time living out their life in the present. they've done everything they want to do. they don't worry about the opportunities they've missed, or the fact they amounted to nothing, because they did everything they wanted. if you live your life out to the fullest - living in the present, and not worrying about if you'll die tomorrow - maybe death will be a welcome friend. it's a final rest for a weary traveler. we take the hurt, pain, love, anger, wonder... and take it back with us, putting our unique perspectives back into creation.
i've been through a lot mentally and emotionally, a lot that's been difficult to get through. but what i've learnt in that process is that happiness really is more of a habit than people make it out to be. have low expectations, let things go. take the bad times as they come, hold onto the good times.
one day, i'll meet the reaper. and when that day comes, i hope i'm satisfied with what i've done as a person on this planet to say
"let's go home, my old friend"
