Only the good die young...

Today has made me start my thoughts about living the life you are given to the fullest potential it has. This morning I got a phone call that an old friend of mine, and my best friends ex-boyfriend, had passed away. We were never really close, but we were friends, and this was shocking news to me. It is upsetting to know that someone of such a young age has passed on already, he was only 20, he didn't even live his life.

But then I thought about it again. He did live his life. The life God had planned for him since day one. The irony of this is that my friend still had feelings for him, and he still loved her as well. It was that love hate kind of relationship, but they both knew that they eventually belonged together and should have been together for the rest of their lives. My friend called me upset because the last thing that she wrote to him was about how he needed to clean up his act and be there for his pregnant girlfriend. Now he's gone, and will never see his child. But God had it destined for this to happen, it has been planned since he was put on this earth. My friend was upset because she thought that the last feelings he had towards her were hate. But that is not the truth. He took her words to heart, and listened to her opinions and took her advice. Obviously she meant a lot to him, or he would have blown off everything she had said to him. I'm glad she let him know how she feels, and even though each person's destiny is carved out for them already, you can still tell them what you are feeling each and every day.


Never lie about your feelings to someone you care about, always make sure they know the truth. Because tomorrow, they may be gone, and you will never get the chance to tell them how you feel. If you love someone, make sure to tell them each and everyday, because it may be too late the next time you plan on talking to them. Don't ever fret on the last things that you say to someone, because if you make sure that they know you love them as often as you can, THOSE are the memorable words they will know from you. The impression you made the whole journey with the person is the one that will matter to them, and the one they will remember in eternity. Not that you were brutally honest with them the last time you talked to them.


Life is way too short. Someone you love could be gone tomorrow, and you may not have said everything you wanted to them. Call them up, right now. Tell them how you're feeling, and let them know that you love them. The impression you leave the rest of the time is going to be a lot greater of an impact than the last words you say. Life is too short to have all the hatred in the world. Think of someone you hate for no reason, you just want to hate them. Get ahold of them, apologize, and try and make nice. You never know what someone else is going through. And they could be gone tomorrow, and you'll find out that they had been having some tough times, and you'll feel sorry that you didn't befriend them.

Just take your lives into perspective. And please, DON'T DO DRUGS. I love you all, and I want you all with me for a LONG time. Even though I don't know what God has in-store for the future, I want you all to know that I love you, and there are only a few people that I hate. And there are very explainable and good reasons behind the hatred. Make a new friend today, because you never know that stepping into someone's life could change it forever. Tell someone you care. Make sure everyone knows the way you feel about them, even if it is something that needs to be worked on. I love you guys. Stay safe<3
