An Awakening...

Days like these make you realize that you must not fear giving yourself to others.  No matter the shock that comes to us, we have to confront it and learn to overcome it.  It will only make me stronger.  It hits home because this is the first person I know who was able to do what I have been unable to do in the past on several occasions.  In a weird way its like being able to experience the narrative of your own life.  The things that could have...could still happen.  I'm not saying i'm giving up hope, but I'm not neglecting the fact I may lead to my own demise.  I live life as well as I know I am able to, but I know I have those faults that may get to me one day.  My family, friends, and commitments are the things that keep me going and seem to pick me up when I stumble.  But it only takes one time to stumble and no one is there to pick you up.  It goes to show how fragile we all are...until then I am buying another day...
