If I Were To Die Tomorrow

If I were to die tomorrow.

If I were to die tomorrow, I’d want each and every person that has come into my life to know that I love them. No matter how long or short you were a part of my life for, I love you all as equally as the next. For those whom I’m closest to you’d find a letter summarizing just how much of an impact you had on my life. An impact that only you would have the power to bestow upon me.

If I were to die tomorrow, I know the world would still strive on without me. People might miss me, but eventually they’d be forced to move on with their lives. I would want them to move on with their lives, I wouldn’t want they’re burning flames of determination to die when my soul died, I’d want it to burn brighter and stronger than ever before.

If I were to die tomorrow, I’d want to be a symbol to my loved ones in some way. The warmth I love and carry with me would be symbolized by the sun’s rays warming the side of their cheek. Perhaps, maybe even a gust of wind to help calm them down when they have too much on their plate. I would want to be the one to help them take that extra breath of fresh air when they’re in need of it the most. Even though I’d be gone, I would still be there for them.

If I were to die tomorrow, I would look back at all the things I’ve done, places I’ve been and memories I’ve made. Then, I’d look at what I had left to do in the plans I had made for my future. I would be proud of my past and if possible I would continue with my plans for the future, just not in the same way as before. I wouldn’t lay at peace if I didn’t yet accomplish what I wanted to do. However, if I couldn’t accomplish what I had yet to do living while dead, I’d have to find peace somehow. I have a feeling I’d find that peace within those who I left behind.

If I were to die tomorrow, this would be the only way possible I’d be able to say I love you and Goodbye to those who I cherished the most.

We shouldn’t have to think about death, but it is a natural part of life. Every day we lose people in this world, so hold on tight to the ones we still have with us. Forgive, forget, and move on before your time is done. You don’t know when their times going to be up, and you never know when your time will be up. Live everyday like it’s your last, and love everyone like it’s their last day.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
