What would you like to celebrate?

life.








i thought about writing this as one of those one word blogs that people write, and i thought about writing that one word in all caps, but i thought that'd be too pretentious of me because i'm not cool enough to do that.

a friend of my family was recently diagnosed with a mysterious and terminal bone cancer. from what i've been told, she has somewhere between a couple days and a couple months to live.

i've never really experienced death before. i mean, people i've met in my life have died, but no one really all that close to me has ever died. i know that's lucky of me or whatever, and i shouldn't want the people i love/who love me to die, but sometimes i feel weird, because i was talking to one of my good friends tonite and she said that six people close to her have died in the past year, and i really had absolutely no clue what to say to her. i felt bad because she was sad and i didn't know how to help her.

also, my life has been really good lately. i got some of the best Christmas presents ever this year, my family has been at least kind of getting along, i'm not feeling broken hearted and destroyed anymore, my friends are being successful and happy, and i know that even though i may think i'm lost, God knows exactly where i am. in general, my life has been great.

i just want people to know how meaningful they are and that my life would not be the same without any of the people i have ever met, no matter how short or limited my experiences with them are or were, and i love the way my life is going and i wouldn't want to change it for the world.

thanks to everyone who i've ever crossed paths with. i want you to know that i love you.
