Life Is Short

It is an ironic and cruel joke that as we figure out who we are, as we find our people, as we become more secure in ourselves and them, we also become closer to death.

I am a submissive, and sometimes it feels like time will run out before I know fully what that means.

I am an activist, and sometimes it feels like time will run out before the change I’m working towards happens.

So much of what we are is about hope and drive, even if what we are hoping for and driving towards never happens.

The point is the journey, not the destination.

So every second a call to action. To take care of our minds and bodies and hearts so that we can prolong it. To be and do as much as we can in the short time we have. To love fiercely and deeply. To be good to other people and help them along in their journey too.

To change the world into a better, kinder, more equitable place. Because regardless of what anyone says or does, this world belongs to all of us… and we belong in it.

To learn from our mistakes and try to cause as little harm as possible. To figure out who we are so that we can be them, and to remember that who we are isn’t stagnant, so the change shouldn’t stop until the end.

I do not believe in the afterlife, at least not the kind where I continue to be me. So I think we need to make this life matter because it is all we’ve got.

To grow and help others grow. That is how I make my life matter.

Life is short.

Make the most of it. For yourself AND others.

You may develop limitations, but still do what you can in your life. You are the postiive type of person who wil live a long rich life.

Your physical life is seemingly short, but your spirit hangs around a great deal longer

My candle is already sputtering, M. I schlepped three loads of firewood and had leg cramps that damn near kept me from sleeping and almost brought me to my knees when I got up.

Although I do agree with the general tenor of your find, I'm more of a realist than an activist. I don't think I've ever finished a task or reached a goal. It's always somewhere out there waiting for me, or someplace back in the past discarded by the side of the road.

At least I'm never disappointed. I know what to expect: Incomplete. I've had lovely relationships, but never a perfect one.

I especially agree with including others as I make the most of it. Others always make things better, even others at long distance, like now.

Very true, but when the light goes out of your life it is hard to worry about the time you have left.

What you wrote is true but the afterlife. im not sure what happen. i had cancer and had to get cut it cut out. i was in very bad shape and i believe i die when they did. im not into that atall before that. so when i found myself just like i was flowing on air to some people far away and getting close to see who they were i was pulled back. and came out of it. i heard the nurse say to the Drs at was close she die and came back. so i don't know what to believe now

At some point your candle will go out, so make use of the light.
