Calendars Have Expiration Dates.

Some things make you really appreciate life. Some things make you really appreciate the people you have in your life. And some things teach you the meaning of strength, hope, and what it truly means to be alive. This is one of those things.

Our days are numbered, but we never know what number we're on. So take every opportunity that comes to you. Don't put it off until next time because you're scared of rejection, embarrassment, or whatever. There may never be a next time. Maybe this will help you learn that. Our fears are just a waste of our time. They're a wall we build up ourselves, just out of cardboard bricks. It's not hard to break the wall down, so do it every time. There's nothing to lose, because everything that seems bad at the moment just diminishes after a while. Most things are never really as bad as we make them out to be.

Take a chance. Live life. Love life.

Always stay strong. It's unfortunate that sometimes, it takes events like this to put things into perspective, but I've always been a firm believer that everything happens for a reason. Every event you encounter will teach you something and make you grow. There are positives to every situation if you look deep enough. I'm convinced that this happened to teach you strength, so don't fight it off. Embrace what you're given everyday, and remember, there's is always someone there who loves you.
