I cannot explain why a phrase that is so damn obvious and unarguable is so hard to accept at the same time. Why can't we just come to terms with the simple fact that we're not here forever? Wouldn't our lives be fuller if we did?
"If you find yourself on a cliffside, trapped,
with a hungry tiger waiting above,
and a hungry tiger waiting below...
...and, by chance, you spy a single strawberry growing from the cliffside...
pluck the strawberry...
and bite into it...
and taste it..."

Anyway, I like to think that maybe someone will see this stencil on the wall and maybe reevaluate their priorities, for instance stop thinking abut their mortgage for a second, but then again I'm fully aware that I'm just being ridiculously naive

I remind myself everyday I'm not going to live forever, after I once tried to kill myself. Even when everyone, including me, thought I was dying, I was still laughing and making jokes, I didn't want my last moments to a sad memory to my family. And even deep down, I knew I already made a descision and I couldn't back from it know, so I had to accept whatever happened next in full stride. I was okay with dying. Luckily, I lived with no kidney problems, and I'm glad everyday for that experience. I'm now joining the Navy, hoping to be a Aviation Rescue Swimmer, and hopefully get enough money and education to make my own cartoon show and video games, and more importantly, to own a boat. It's funny though, after the incident, people kept telling how it was their god that saved my life, but I have no reason to believe that. I'm an atheist, and I can still appreciate life!
