7:12pm. an amazing moment of clarity. a jarring realization of what things mean to me.

the definition behind the life i've lived, the life i'm living, and the life i've yet to live.

i had forgotten how transient life is ... how everything could come crashing down around you at a moment's notice, and how important it is to enjoy life right now. what i have right now, the family i have right now, the people i have around me right now ... i should do my best to raise them up and enjoy their company right now.

life is now. life isn't something i'm planning to live years from now. 

i can't believe i had forgotten this.

Currently feeling: happy

Exactly! Which is why we must keep racking up that $11 trillion plus national debt today and let the future gens worry about it. "Cuz we don't know them yet.
