Life

Life is Precious.
This is a lesson that I seem to be learning the hard way.
*Grandparents in the hospital
*Young People dying.
*Missing out on the everyday of my little sister's lives
* Best friends getting engaged and married and I feel like I am missing it.
My mind is basically on overdrive right now so I'm sure I am not making sense, but I realize, as John Lennon so eloquently put it, "Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans." I think I realized this a lot over the past year. Just because I am not witnessing events, doesn't mean that they are not happening all around me. I think that it has hit me most when I go back to my Mum and Dad's house and see how much my baby sisters are growing up, or how successful my parents are now. My friends are getting married, traveling the country, or going off to even higher education. I know that we are NEVER supposed to compare our lives with others, but part of me wonders...Am I doing something wrong? What do people think when they see me after a long time? Do they notice a change? I guess I feel like I am stuck in a time capsule and am every now and then glimpsing the time passing by seeing what others around me are doing.
This seems like a pointless waste of breath, but I really do feel this way.
Should I be doing something different?
I just want to embrace the people that I love and never let them go. You never know how long that you will be able to do this.
For some reason my naturally humorous way of thinking is failing me today and I can only see the gravity of life...it's not really a normal feeling for me.
Don't be surprised if I give all of you a HUGE hug next time I see you.
