It's weird how much can
 | It's weird how much can change in a year. i was thinking about griping about how new year's shouldn't be a holiday because there is really nothing to celebrate, but i got stuck on CNN's 9/11 memorial site. You can view the list of the dead by a variety of criterium. It was tough looking at the kids. Little kids. Babies. All dead. This past year has taught me alot about death. I had never regarded it very highly, but now i realize how fragile life really is. Sounds very cliche, but it's true. Death inspires I think. I look at my life and i see that i don't do anything with my best. I don't try hard at anything, just slide through it with as little friction as possible. I think about the people i admire. One thing in common: they try very hard. I, however, do not. I want to be better at life, because as we've all learned. We're not gauranteed a tommorow. Only a today. |
