TIME

As a younger generation we think that time is always on our side. We live with the idea that there will be a lot of tomorrow to look forward too. It isn't until something happens, something happens that shakes the whole core of our very existence. And in that one brief moment when tragedy strikes, we feel it, time stops and in that instant that EVERYthing changes, barley leaving room to breathe. We start to realize how precious time really is, and that we tomorrow may not always be there. We realize that we aren't invincible and that there is no rule that says "hey you cant die you're not 80 yet." But most of all we realize that time moves on. Time doesn't stop for anyone. No matter what we have been through time just keeps moving on. Time knows no rules, time has a rulebook of its own. So we live; we live like there's no tomorrow. We live for those who died to soon. But most of all we live, because time isn't on our side.
