Ive always been told that the young take all we have for granted.
Ive always been told that life is for living ... but at the same time is as fragile as that little Robyn in the tree . Hold on too tight and it'll surely die,too loose and it'll fly away from you and twitter into the unknown.
I never appreciated anything my parents said more than i do today for it was just yesterday when i was wondering through facebook and i came across it, RIP Mat it said . RIP . And thats when i got it ... as my chest ripped open just a little .. realization sinking .. mathew. I wasnt close to him , by any manner of the word yet still the words made me weak . Mathew Henderson was 22 years old , just 22 when he died. What life had he lived? Had he really done everything he could in the world ? As i said , i wasnt close to him ... but i went onto his facebook profile and i read all the messages left behind .. the msgs of love and pain . Any person that could inspire such love in so many people must have been worth knowing ... i somehow feel cheated that i didnt have that chance.
I found myself questioning it all , how someone who was so loved and so admired could be taken so cruelly from the world... and so quickly,and through that i saw how quickly everything can change and how suddenly people can disappear. The first thing i remember doing was look up from my screen and tell my mum i love her . What a strange instinct . I felt that all the important people in my life should get to know that they are important to me ... for tomorrow could be too late . I thought of all the things I've never experienced due to lack of courage on my part ... no more . Ill take what comes, live for the moment and hope for the future . Dreams are important, love is essential .. compassion ... as my friend said to me once . Its all about compassion .. for in the very word compassion is the words compass, giving direction to life and passion giving purpose to life . (Melani Schafer)
