Ever thought what it would be like if someone told you that you only had three months left to live?
Hard and difficult to imagine isn’t it? I think more than anything it’s incredibly frightening.
Not knowing why, what to believe or how an earth you’ll manage to get through those last three months of your life.
What would you do? I have no idea, but as a thousand thoughts would be swimming through my mind, what I do know is that the most important to me would be to spend as much time as possible with my family, friends and those who truly love and care for me.
As death is the only thing in life we don’t have any power or control over, I want you to take a minute just to stop and look around at the world around you.
Life is moving as quick as a speed train and if you don’t jump on while the doors are open, there won’t another one coming in the next 15 minutes.
We live in a world where our day-to-day lives consist of work, home, daily chores, school run and things I cannot even begin to list, it’s one big rush and we tend to forget how precious it really is.
Not only our own lives, but the people around us and particularly those who make our lives worthwhile.
We are currently in a world where objects have become more valuable and the value of humans, animals and other living things have decreased.
I find it so sad that conversation between two people without the use of technology is dissolving; people are becoming more interested in themselves and their image rather than their actions and what the outcomes of them will be.
When I look back at the last year, my mind can’t seem to log the amount that has changed, how I’ve changed and most of all the biggest lesson it has taught me.
What’s that? It’s that not everybody is how you see them, you may look at a person and see them so beautiful or simply amazing, but when it comes to your hardest days, look for that person again and if they are beside you you know what you was real and if they aren’t? Well I don’t think there’s anything left to say.
My mum always says: “Not everybody is like me and you” and oh how right she is.
I’ve learnt the hard way when it comes to knowing who’s real and who isn’t and who’s only there when they need you and who you know will be there till the end.
I’ve seen friends disappear and I’ve seen strangers turn into friends, yet the one thing I have yet to see is someone tear down the walls put up on purpose.
Maybe one day just one day and by then I hope it won’t be too late.
Appreciate life, other peoples’ lives and those who truly love and care for you, because one day you might look up and realise you lost it all because you were too busy looking at yourself.
