I wasn’t going to post this or talk about it actually, but I do believe a couple people I have talked to today need to hear it. I was walking Annabel thru the neighborhood behind my apartment last night. A policeman pulled up next to me and gestured for me to come over. Once there and wondering what the hell this was about he said “Do you know or have you seen a black child around 10-12 years old riding around on a black and white bicycle. I could tell by the look on his face that things were not good.
The child was in an accident and they didn’t know who his parents are. Like most good people I wanted to help and wished I knew who they are, but I didn’t. I don’t believe the kid made it just by the body language of the officer. He drove away and I was left there on the side of the road with my thoughts. My heart broke for people I don’t know and will most likely never meet. In that moment I knew their life was going to change in a horrific way, but they didn’t.
I hear my friends complain about some very trivial shit. It gets old I’m not going to lie. Most people by the time they reach my age have had multiple horrible things happen to them and certainly every one of them knows someone that has had tragedy hit home. Here is the point which happens to be the same one I make every other day. Life is short. Life is sometimes hard. Very hard. It is also incredibly beautiful when you take the time to notice.
It comes down to the fact that at any moment the life you know now can be forever changed. I can’t tell you how to live, but I know I’m not going to carry around a big bag of anger around with me. To me life about going from great event to great event in life, but when you are dragging this anger around it takes a lot longer to get to the next great event in your life. Just set that bitch down and pick up the pace. Happiness is there waiting for your angry dumbass to show up. The party started a long time ago, and every little anger brick you pick up just makes you slower and slower.
Live everyday like it might be your last. Treat people the way that you want them to remember you. Have some fucking fun!! To be honest many times I write these things to remind myself. I’m as guilty as everyone else of letting stupid things get me. Everyday is a blessing. Remember that and try to live like that.
