I was going to talk about Black Friday today and how exhausted I am having gone to bed at 1. Waking up at 3 not to go shop but to help my parents with their second job at the mall. I am exhausted. It's been a long day and it's still not over yet. I was gonna vent about being tired, and all the annoying people. But when I went on Facebook today I saw something, and that's what I'll focus on today.
Lucky. This kinda fits with last night's post, how lucky we are to be alive. I went on Facebook and saw a status from one of my newer friends that I've made this year. He was saying how thankful he was for some person and I figured it was just another Thanksgiving post. But it wasn't. He was in an accident and his friend passed. And he's alive.
I'm not going to be like one of those fake people that freaks out and acts like we are best friends. But it's pretty crazy, he's one of the first friends I made this year and it's really crazy to think how our lives can change in a matter of minutes, and how we can cease to live.
It's almost like we are so insignificant. Our lives can end very easily. Every breath we take brings us closer to our last but that should not be a reason to give up on life or be depressed about it. Instead we should focus on the fact of how lucky we are to be alive.
Every day that we wake up is a new miracle. And if there's anything you take from today's entry I hope it's at least a moment to consider how lucky you are to be reading my post. Thank you. And I hope you all enjoy life to the fullest and make the best of it all.
Have a good day.
