i feel lucky*
i just really feel lucky today!
for some reason i've been feeling down [or what have you] lately and today i'm feeling really great. shitty things happen everyday and to just learn from them and move is what i love about life. i love it. everything...so fortunate to have the bf that i do [<3 you babe], the life that i lead [as rough as it seems sometimes], and the friends/family that i have [as retarded as they can be sometimes]... LIFE IS GOOD. meh* that's all. i don't even know why i wanted to share that...i guess it just seems like so many people have so much to complain or be pissed off about [and by no means am i excluding myself from these people]...but we forget what really matters...

A friend of mine used to live his life dangerously. on the edge.
Took drugs partied alot and was always doing extreme things. Sports and stuff....sometimes to the point where he had no real regard for his life. One day he got in an accident while doing something stupid. He was in a coma for a long time...so long infact that his parents and family had finally decided that they we were going to pul the plug and let him go....Just pause for memoent. Miraculously he revived the same day and came back to life. It really was a miracle. He was released from hospital and he's on so much medication its not even funny. The doctors say that he only has a short time to live. You can imagine how he feels when he wakes up in the morning. he gets up to every beutiful day, Raining pouring snowing sunny smoggy whatever and enjoys every moment of it never letting a moment go to waste. You truly don't know what you have until it is gone or is going to be taken away. Live your life to the fullest. Love your life with all your heart. Take care of your self. [Side note: I'm not saying I'm perfect or don't complain or get down about things that happen in my life. we live in critical times hard to deal with...just wanted to relate that story and hope I could portray it in a way that makes you feel the way I did when I heard it.]

I've recently (the last 4-5 months) taken those same concepts into account. I mean even at Apex I spent a long time just staring up at the stars and the mountains, I think there's so much we take for granted, life is such a precious thing. One of my best friends who was having reoccuring seizures just found out she has a brain tumour.. if they operate there's a good chance she'll be paralyzed so they're going to track it down and see if it grows.. if it does they'll be forced to. But even if it doesn't the medication she's on right now will cause birth defects if she ever plans on having children. My heart goes out to your friend, and anyone else that has a life-threatening illness, or a short time to live.

I get so caught up in life- pointless stupid things that shouldn't really matter in the long run that seem like so much in the moment - I get caught in the moment
and I forget how lucky i am i feel terrible and sad and miserable - and I can find a million reasons to keep myself that way then I see a duck couple and can't help but smile (duck couples are one of my greatest joys) I am cold and someone offers their jacket and I remember love At Apex I wandered around with one of my bestfriends boyfriends and he and I held hands - and I could see their future together (not literally) and i was overcome with joy I forget me and my selfishness and am happy - I have so much more then some will ever have I thank a God of no religion for my beautiful experiences, for my family and for my friends Somewhere down the road I will not have them all - and so I do my best to treasure them now that doesn't mean I won't forget some days - or that i won't have my petty moments But the clarity of things when you open your eyes a sec and appreciate is truly amazing :)
