With the end of this year coming up rather quickly and the passing of one of our own, I've just been thinking about how life is too damn short and how we take a lot of things for granted. I know I do anyway. I'm a little feverish today so please forgive my potentially overly emotional post that is about to be written here.
It sometimes seems like I never take the time to just tell people how I feel about them, whether that be my family, my friends, partners/gfs/dates/etc. I mean you can say I love you and it can become just a force of habit. Right?
I find myself asking... If they passed on or simply left your life completely, would they know how you felt just because you assume they do? If I was to go, would I be missed? Would someone feel sad that they didn't tell me how they felt?
I know if I lost someone who I loved and yet they never knew or I never told them, I'd have regrets, deep emotions regarding that. I know.. I know.. things happen for a reason.. right? I truly believe that but don't people generally like to know that someone cares about them? Loves them? Why not stop everything right now and tell someone, anyone.. how you feel?
Anyway, I just don't know... all I do know is that life, all life, is too short. I can only imagine that what I don't get right in this life, I hope will be worked out in the next.
IF you feel the same way, please forward this to 1000 of your closest friends... (just kidding).
Chris
