Life..... let's talk about that for a minute. I don't know about you, but I tend to forget how fleeing it can be; how any moment could be my last.
I found out this morning that an actor that I've followed for a few years passed away unexpectedly during the night. He was only 20. So full of life and light. So talented. So much life in front of him. So many things still to accomplish. Here one moment, gone the next.
Not to get heavy and overwhelm anyone, but, in my personal opinion, we need to be living life purposefully. What kind of legacy are you going to leave behind when you are gone?
Seeing that news thing morning was a slap in the face. Am I living like I want to? Am I doing what it takes to accomplish my goals? Am I living life to it's fullest?
To be honest, I don't think the answer can truthfully be "yes" for any of those, and hasn't been for awhile. I haven't taken the time to really figure out what it is I want to be and do. I've been stuck in the daily grind and not doing much else. I keep telling myself "I'll sit myself down and figure some things out tomorrow." Or "I'll do that this weekend." and what do I do when I have the time? Nothing. Literally. I sit and scroll through social media and don't really do a whole lot.
I've been so close to crying several times today; I can't imagine what his family and friends are going through right now, but this has been a wake up call for me. It's time to stop doing life and LIVE!
I know that this was a bit jumbled, short, and rushed. I literally got home from church, ate, and sat down to write this (while trying not to burst into tears). Hopefully in made sense and there aren't many typos, this was just a thought process that I wanted to share here.
