Remember this feeling, this moment, not in despair or pity, yes some sadness but most of all remember this moment to make sure you continue to live as loudly as you can, to fight for injustice and to experience all that this conscious existence allows. Do not ever listen to the doubters, never listen to those that are too scared to confront themselves and look within to their own fears, do not listen to the bullshit, all of it, even your own.
Do not live to exist, live to enjoy the abundance of love we all can within our lives. Death is a part of life and yet is so sudden, so all encompassing so final and yet one cannot think of life without death for they are two sides of the same coin, one cannot exist without the other. A part of life is death, as a part of death is life or rather birth. We each must face ourselves when the time comes, naked as the day we are born.
Our regrets, hopes, fears, loves, experiences, things we have accrued, moments we enjoyed, hated, moments that changed us, moments that we changed ourselves… everything that’s within “the dash” makes life worth living!!!
