It's Your Life

When was the last time you:
1. Were supposed to be in the car when one of your best friends rolls the car over and dies.
2. Held the hand of a sibling as they took their last breaths by way of machine.
3. Spent New Years morning trying to hunt down a best friend who was later found by the cops in a snow bank nearly frozen and half dead.
4. Nearly died and were told you only had a handful of hours left because the strep and mono you have has gotten so bad your throat would close up within hours. (#4 recently added because I tried to forget about this, 5 & 6 moved down)
5. Stared death straight in the face as you get nearly killed by a piece of falling bridge.
6. Had to talk a friend down from killing their self with a kitchen knife.
I really don't want people to feel sorry for me because of what has happened throughout my life. People sometimes think that I try to make people feel that way about me but in truth it's just because I am so comfortable with everything that has happened that I don't mind being completely open. But sometimes I wish that people could open their eyes to the world around them and especially their own life to understand that the stupid little day to day details that get blown out of proportion really don't mean shit in the grand scheme of things. People worry day in and day out about nothing, WHY? What are you stressing about. There is so much more to your life that you should actually care about other than he said/she said crap. So much more to care about other than how to not help people by passively helping them only to understand in the end that you will have to help them anyway because people are clueless (yeah I had a certain situation in mind, but I would rather not go into it). Are they really clueless? Maybe it's just the fact that so many people out there are so lonely in their daily life that they just want help.
The funny thing is that I am so much of an optimist that not a single one of the five things listed above have ever really gotten me down. You can throw whatever the hell you want at me and it's pretty difficult to break my optimistic outlook on the universe. What the five things above have done to me have made me open my eyes. I think at this point in my life I appreciate life so much that I just cannot understand the trivial stupidity that other people call problems. If you are reading this and thinking that I am an ass for thinking your problems aren't that bad then you might be right. But then again maybe you should prioritize things in your life a little more as your problems might as trivial as I think they are. I am not trying to be an ass here. I am trying to open some people's eyes to the fact that you are a person with your very own life. You have the power to do whatever you want with your life and you have the right to feel whatever way you want to in your life. Why would you want to feel stressed about something if there is no need to feel that way? Why feel mad, sad, disappointed etc. when you can just move on with your day and be happy?
