Lately I've Noticed - Written 3/4/08

Lately I’ve noticed what is really important in my life.

I’ve realized that the “skip a night out to do work for college theory” is a load of bullshit, that Sunday’s are meant for Church, football, and homework – in that order – and that putting off a night to forge relationships to write essays is a slap in the hypothetical face.

I’ve noticed that I’m saying “I love you” a lot more often; now realizing that when I die I want every person I cared about to know. I don’t care whether it’s my mom every time I leave in the morning or my boys as we leave Wawa before our Saturday night.

I’ve begun to appreciate every moment in my life that renders a strong feeling of emotion, knowing that there are only so many, knowing that those petty, insignificant fights mean nothing and should never get in the way of being with someone you care about.

I’ve noticed I no longer fear death, but rather fear not living.
