Subject: Life and Death

Quoted from my beloved ex-roommate's blog:

One moment you��re here, the next you��re gone.
One moment you��re healthy and one test later you��ve got a life altering disease.

It makes me think of how I let myself believe that I��ll be healthy and alive forever.
It makes me think of how short time really is.
And how much time I let slip through my fingers.

The hours I��ve wasted fighting silly fights.
The hours I��ve wasted chasing after petty things.
The hours I��ve spent envying, comparing, wishing things were otherwise.

The moments when I��ve chosen me over others.
When I��ve chosen to take rather than give.
When I let fear and insecurity have the final say.

It makes me want to drink up every moment.
To not miss out on a chance to love, to laugh, to LIVE.
To not pass up an opportunity to give my love to others, to share joy moments, and to speak truth, and life-giving words to others.

It makes me want to try. To make mistakes. To dare to be a fool.
I don��t want to reach the end and see that I lived half a life.

I want more.

Can't agree with you more. How i wish that you are around and we can grab a drink together tonight!!!
Then, I can tell you what i have been thinking recently..it's somewhat similar to what you said here..about the "meaning" of life, not purpose, but being meaningful. :-P
