If You Believe In Me, How Can I Be Dissolving? @ 11:14 pm

Feeling: contemplative
Listening to: "37mm" by AFI

 

 

I flee to decemberunderground.
As you exhale, I breathe in and sink into,
The water underground,
And I grow pale without you.

From "The Interview" by AFI. ---> ^This has to be one of the most beautiful song segments I have ever heard.

You know what I was thinking about today?
Every moment is a miracle.
Honestly.
Think about it.

In biology, we learned about the --literally-- hundreds of thousands of tiny little seemingly insignificant things that can go wrong before you're even born. And when you're alive, there are so many ways you can die every single day. But you don't. Sometimes it seems like every breath brings nothing but pain, I know. But honestly, life is a beautiful thing if that is what you chose to make it. Every breath is a miracle and every day is a gift. We're just usually moving so fast that we don't realize that. I never realized it before. Ever.

Say goodbye to your family before you leave your house in the morning, because you never know if you'll see them again.
Tell the ones love the most how much you care about them, because you never know if you'll get another chance.
Be thankful for every day, because you never know how many you have left.

Love that song and that segment in particular...

I have that realization sometimes, it really makes me wake up and realize that I spend a lot of time taking my life for granted when in actuality every moment that I have alive is another moment I could be grateful for.

me too. they write such beautiful lyrics... even though half the time i can't understand what davey's saying :]

yeah. it's really easy to take life for granted, especially when things are going well. i bet the world would be a lot different if more people realized this more often.
