Okay..so you most likely hear this a lot, of how people die and don't forget to tell them you love them...it's true...i can't tell you how important it is to tell someone you love them, you never know when they can disappear from your life....

with the shooting at Virgina Tech...and lockdown at my school, it made me realize you always have to tell someone you love them...let's say you had a major fight with your mom or dad and you said i hate you i never want to see you again...then they die in a car crash...would want the last thing you said to them i hate you? I wouldn't...always say I love you....

today, at school we watched a slide show of the people who died at Virgina Tech...after that it made me realize, we hate people for the most stupid reasons, you may hate someone because they don't look the same as you...or whatever...you may think oh that wasn't where i live so why should i care? well you should because it could just as easily happen to you and your friends or family...we are all the same on the inside......we all have dreams....we all have had something tragic happen...whether it be a death of a loved one...or a relationship with a close friend that ended for who knows what reasons

Always forgive people even if they don't forgive you back, say sorry even if they don't forgive you...yesterday i kinda got in a fight with some of my friends after seeing the slideshow it made me realize we were fighting over something stupid and i don't want to loose a friend...so i left her a long apology letter...after leaving that i feel much better, though she hasn't replied, i was able to get a huge weight lifted off my shoulders...

This world is falling apart...wake up people...look around you...shootings everywhere...wars....whatever....we need to be aware of this....we can make a difference...the world will continue to fall apart if we don't try to do something...if the one girl who texted her parents at my school...they wouldn't of caught the person with the guns, i could be dead...we need to understand we are not different from each other, we are all the same deep down inside..but people are afraid to express it...we are too busy pretending everything is okay, and not getting to know people, by just being kind to someone you could save them from committing suicide or shooting people....

All this happening is very sad but be greatful that if you are reading this message right now...it means you have survived another day, you are alive, and that's a wonderful thing...This is the day that the Lord has made let us rejoice and be glad, everyday is a brand new day!!! Don't live in the past with it's regrets!! Don't worry about tomorrow because it may not come... Today is here you alive...rejoice in that!!

May God Bless You Today and Always
Don't Forget To Say I Love You...
Don't Forget to forgive and Forget...
Don't Forget to say I'm Sorry....
Rejoice everyday you are alive!!
I love you all!!
