Can anyone ever feel as though they are truly out of deaths reach? Ever?
Can anyone truly feel like death might look away forever? Or for at least a little longer?
Even with anything, can anyone ever feel as if they own anything at all?
Even these bodies we call are own are only ever loaned to us, and time is the greatest myth of all.
I find myself completely affected by the amount of loss that I have had to endure. So many have left this mortal coil, and I am still here, still trying to hold on to impossible time as it slips right through my fingers.
My life has become dedicated to the memory of those that left us way too early, for my selfish heart misses them so, and I do not want to offend their memory.
I won't forget to appreciate each and every breathe that I get to enjoy, and even the ones that feel as though they come at a heavy cost.
No one ever said that this life was fair, that this universe didn't have a hostile side, no one ever said that happiness was simply given to those who wait.
Save your fears for another day, for we must rush in and accept whatever may come our way.
Not everything will work, but not everything will fail.
We must remind ourselves that this only lasts as long as Time The Thief wills it so, and that we do not usually get to know when Time The Thief wants it all back.
You will never be untouchable, and you will never have everything.
You, like me, like everyone, will always find and lose, receive and let go, forever caught in the ebb and the flow.
You will have what you have, and if you live right, you will allow this loving and hostile universe to challenge and protect you.
You may be lucky enough to forget, for a time, that we are all heading towards the same destination. You may even be lucky enough to appreciate what you have on a deeper level, because you take a moment to remember, that you and I are heading in the same direction.
That we are all simply on this journey before the next.
