Borrowed time...

a few months ago a friend suddenly lost her husband...one day he was fine the next day he passed away...he was 51...this got me thinking about getting back in touch with a few people that I had lost touch with over the years while raising my son...I looked up a girlfriend of mine from my home town that I had way too much fun with in my 20s...instead of finding her I found her obituary...she died at age 48...just 5 months before I tried to contact her...hearing about newpowermoves was a wakeup call...

are we living on borrowed time...tomorrow is promised to no one...so is there someone that you need to contact or want to contact? for me there were several people and I am making it my mission to reach out...I have also recently had a couple of people that I had not heard from reach out to me...it made me wonder...is there a wave of needing to connect with real people in this world of technology...

We are all on borrowed time. During this time, we have to live until we die. Pick any path you choose. That path is like a forest, it isn't straight line. On that path we have experiences. Some of these will bring pleasure, pain, and revelations. These experiences are yours. I have lost many friends and loved ones over the years. Sometimes I wish I could be there before they have passed on. The last time I saw my older brother, the last thing he said to me in person was,"I want to hear good news from you." It was the last time ever saw him again. My time with him was very limited. Now that he is in a better place, I hope to see him and everyone I knew who had left this mortal coil again.

 

we all have people in our lives that die before what we perceive as their time, and the natural reaction to that is feelings of guilt that we didn't spend enough time with them, or maybe we fought with them before they died, or if we had only just had ''one more day''....
thats just a human trait, and something we can't really do much about.
Nothing wrong with reaching out and trying to make contact with people we have faded away from, be that family, friends or otherwise, but we can't beat ourselves up over such things.
Life is life, and we all die, no matter how much time we spent with someone, or what our last words to that person was.

 

Yep, we're all in borrowed time, that's why sometimes I don't get about small beefs, getting mad in miniscule things and being easily angry & agitated. It ain't worth folks......
Life is short, I say fuck the haters and live my simple life

 

This! Life became so much simpler when this became my motto.

 

The whole deal here is that we can all be gone tomorrow; simple as that. It's really interesting how our society (I'm speaking specifically of Americans anyway) chooses to ignore mortality until it smacks them in the face. We are all invincible in our own eyes.

I saw it all when I was 20, when a high school buddy passed away in an instant. He never saw it coming. I've never really been religious, so it hit me hard. Just seemed absolutely senseless to me, and it could easily have been me, at least 50 times over to this point. A year or 2 later I had a very near death experience myself. I've considered myself on borrowed time ever since.

For these reasons, I wholeheartedly agree in the concept of living for today. I live every day to the fullest and try to enjoy life as much as I can. Many would fault me on not looking say, 10 to 20 years down the road. Most people are focusing on retirement from the time they start their careers. Who is to say you'll ever make it that far???


Truth
