276,035 people are going to die today. Now- I mean that statistically speaking, not like I'm trying to predict the future and be dark or anything. An average of 276,035 people die everyday. You can sit there, tell me "No, that's not going to be me", you could do that. However, every single on of you could die right now, or possibly even worse (If you're someone like me) someone you love.



Take a minuet and think about that.



Think about your life.



What things are left on said? C'mon. You know there's that one person who you have something to say to. Or maybe there's something you have to do. But for some reason, beyond any logic you're not saying it. I know I'm doing that right now. There's too many things I've left unsaid. If I were clever, the last thing I tell everyone who I care about, "Be safe, take care of yourself, and know that I love you." But I'm human. I fight with the people I love. I take out my anger on the wrong people. I get pissed off and tell people things I don't mean. And sometimes, I leave things unsaid, because I'm an idiot, and I take things for granted.



But if I died right now, right here, today, my soul would not be at peace. Now, why the hell would I do that to myself? Fear of course. I'm scared of what could happen if I tell people how I feel. If I do the things I want to do. (Now, I'm not telling you do anything destructive, I don't care if you want to do heroine, don't do it). I hold myself back, and I can almost guarantee you are too. There's one person, somewhere who you're keeping something from. Now maybe you don't need to tell them. There's a couple of people I'd love to tell that I hate. But it doesn't change the state of my soul.



What I want you to think about is if you died today, would your soul be at peace?

If you can honestly say yes, I'm honest to God proud of you. However, if you're like most of the population, what the hell are you waiting for?



When I log off of this, I'm going to go talk to someone, and stop leaving things left unsaid. Then I'm going to go do something, and not leave things left undone. I'm going to be able to say I'd be able to die at peace. For all I know I have days, hours, minuets left to live. I'm not going to take that for granted. Now, what are you waiting for?
