I've always felt that one should make the most of the life that they have. Someone should find what makes them happy and do that. But the circumstance of a friend of mine has hit that point home.
She's about to turn 29 (only about six months younger than me) and she has brain cancer. But she has this amazing fighting spirit that I love. She doesn't want pity, she just wants friends that she can talk to. She's beautiful, brave, funny, and I wish I had met her earlier. Her doctor says that she won't make to her next birthday which I hope is a mistake. I guess I am still hoping for a miracle because I feel like I haven't had enough time to get to know her better.
But like most people, when people that they love pass away early, it makes you reflect on your own life. I'm a lot like her and I'm glad I've found what makes me happy. I know if I got sick tomorrow, I'd be happy with who I was with. She brings the feelings of what it's like to be so young and passing away. I know making the most out of my life is important. I enjoy the moment. I try to be slow to anger and quick to forgive. I want to look back and not regret anything.
I'm going to miss her when she leaves. I don't want her to go and I'm praying that she doesn't. I still have to go to Hawaii and visit her (yes, she lives in Hawaii!!! how hawt is that!). Thanks, D, for giving me another life lesson.
