My Life's Motto

"You never know."

If you stop to think about it, it's totally true. You never know what's going to happen from one minute to the next. You can think that you know..you can plan all you want...but there always things that you cannot help.
Everyone is planning their lives out. For this summer, next semester, after college...But all of those plans can be swept away. I know it's slightly depressing to think about, but it's true. People never really think about this.
Last night, my friend Joseph and I were in down town Tuscaloosa and we saw a whole bunch of police cars, fire trucks and ambulances. I don't know the story, but I'm assuming this girl was leaving or going to the bar on the corner and was hit by a car. She definitely was not moving. And she was more than likely a college student. A college student with plans for the future just like everyone else. The whole incident just started a whole chain reaction in my head of thoughts. What if that had been me? What if it had been one of my friends? Anyways, I'm getting away from the point..
I could say that "Yeah! I'm gunna live my life to fullest! Everyday!" Haha, but yeah, I know that craps not going to happen. It's just something to think about. But I will say somethings because who knows, I may never get a chance to say it.
To all my close friends that have been there for me, especially as of late, you have no idea how much it means to me. We all know it's hard for me to say certain things and sometimes it seems like I really don't appreciate it..but I hope you all do know how much I love you all and how much you mean to me.
On the plus side of never knowing...
That's usually when you meet the people that are going to mean the most in your life. You never know when you're going to meet those people, and they're usually the ones that will leave the best impressions on your life and heart. I never thought I'd meet someone like Ashlynn in Mr. Meyers' Intergrated Science class. I never thought I'd meet someone like Amanda at orientation. I never thought a girl like Bri would steal my seat on the bus in middle school :). Or those certain people you mind getting compliments from. You know who you are, haha.
My point is...We live our lives not knowing what's going to happen. It's hard for most people to comprehend and even accept because everyone wants complete control. But the fact of the matter is, you're never going to be happy unless you accept it. And I'm coming to that point in my life where I'm about at that point.
Shit happens. Great things happen. You never know.
