Today my sister took me to a small art exhibition in tribute to a friend of hers who died instantly in a car crash last October. Aged 21. It was organised by the friend's girlfriend and featured not only her art but the art of my sister and several friends, all showing their own thoughts and feelings on Mike's passing.
You may be wondering where I am going with this. Well, truth is I am not very emotional. I rarely get upset or cry. But seeing this exhibition brought me close to tears. Not only because of the sadness of Mike's death and the touching messages left by friends but because it made me stop and think about mortality, something that has never bothered me before. If someone so young can have their life taken away so suddenly and unexpectedly then it could happen to anyone, anytime. I dunno about you lot but this scares me.

Not me. My soul is prepared to die. That's why I can say I'd die for a loved one if I have to because I know where I'm going when I die

I'm glad you realize that we're so fragile. That sounds cold, but it's what I feel.

Yeah, its hard to put into words. Its like... I always knew I was gonna die, everyone dies. But it was so far away, so remote. This has suddenly brought it so much closer. And it makes me wonder what I should do with my time. Is there something laid out for me, a mission, which I must fulfill? Or is it my time to decide what to do with? Is my time left allotted or is that my decision?
I'm starting to work things out but it is painful. When I got home I spent over an hour talking to a close friend on the subject. About what we want to do, where we want to go, what we want to experience. Things are clearing up.

I know exactly what I want to do, and have known precisely what it was for about a year now. Before then, I had premonitions of it. It sounds completely crazy, but that's human life, so eh.
Ah...I just had my second pepsi.

That's so sad. But It's good that they are remembing somebody that has passed. Nobody knows when they are going to die.I'm not scared of dying,but I don't want to die.My brother has stared death right in the face many times,he has been scared of dying. But he's such a strong will person,that he never gives up.He has a good soul,so he shouldn't be scared of dying. But I don't want him to,cause I love him very much. The thoughts of losing him are very painful to think about.

Yeah, I'm making... not plans, but... well, what I want to do and when I want to do them.
I also just had my 3rd spliff of the evening.

Okay. Philosophy mode turn on. How are you, Gentlemen !! Enough Zero Wing. Anyways, seriously, death is going to come. Blah blah, we have that down. Now, I'm sure someone is going to say "Well, yes, you are finally realizing you need God in your life, wuahahaha", but for me, I think faith is only a small piece of it. This isn't a religious thread, I just had to get that bit outta the way What I want to do with my life is to experience everything possible and probably more. Maybe that's why people think me eccentric..? I can't stand the same thing over and over again. I thirst for more, for something different. It's not enough for me to just be "content". I want extreme emotion, I want pain and suffering, and utmost joy and feeling. I want to be extremely affected and emotional. And also, my fascination with art is helped by this thought or dream. Art is nothing but feeling, an expression or repression or suppression of that feeling. And it's why I get deeply insulted when people misrepresent art But these are my own thoughts, and everyone has their own thoughts and feelings. In life, I always speak of perfection, and perfection to me is when your life is not empty, not halffull, but FULL. Where everything is exactly what it should be. To you AND to others. Some people accept illusions of the full feeling, some people never care to achieve it, most people, really I think, don't care or don't know what it is. I'm sorry if you guys can't follow what I'm saying because it's hard to get into a philosophical train of thought in the afternoon I only think dreamily like this when it's late at night..this is simply all I can remember at the moment.

That's a good post Mr. Juney...anyways... ...I'm extremely tired right now, so I'll just say, that I'm not worried about my death. When I die, I won't have to think about my death anymore... . That doesn't mean I don't have dreams in life, coz I think about my dreams all the time, but I'm just doing what I can and if I die tomorrow, well, at least I tried....I just didn't have time. What really worries me, is the death of my mother...she's taking chemotherapy, and I just can't get used to the idea that she will not be with me forever...I really don't know what's going to happen with me if she dies before me...that's what worries me.

The only thing that would be bad about my death is leaving my loved ones; not that I would be sad, just about their well-being. I also wouldn't want people to mourn over me that much. That's why I say, that if anything should happen, don't cry.

I have been proud of my life since I was born, I couldnt have things better even though I dont have much anyway. I can die anytime and still know this. If I knew I was gonna die tomorrow, Id still be proud I have got to do the things Iv done and meet the people Ive met, even though I havent done much. Im still happy.

I've never done anything I regret. Yesterday I decided to start smoking again. Regret that? Hel no and I never will. Everytime I knock back a couple of litres of Cider, do I regret it, then or later? No. Life is way, way, way too short for regret.

Well I really dont care. We all are brought in this world , to die. Many people died around me, I never cried though I showed respect but never showed tears. To me , dying is a blessing to get out of this hell hole we call our home.
