Live the present

Three weeks ago, a friend of mine died of Cancer. She was 22 years old. I met her at university and we did a lot of group projects together. We were not really close but we got along. I lost contact with her during 9 months. When I received a text telling she passed away I was really touched.

She discovered she had cancer one week before she died. She would never expect two months ago that she will not be here today anymore.

Life is precious. Health is precious. We are so small in this universe but every life is precious and tell a story. My mum say that our life on earth is an adventure among others. I don’t know what to think, during years I though when we died there were other dimensions. That we keep our conscious and remember our past. But after I just believe in science, our conscious is the connection of synapse in our brain. It’s hard to realise that we are on earth just for a time. But on the other hand it’s beautiful as well, we need to live every day as it was our last one. Smile, enjoy, take opportunities, meet, love, touch, discover, travel.

We have only one life and we seem to forget it a lot. I forget it as well, sometimes I spend days in my sofa watching netflix and eating nutella…Yes it’s amazing for a day but no for a week. Because I could do anything I want.

I feel like here, in Belgium, everyone want you to be in « the society ». Find a job, being in couple, find a home, having kids, go eat at grandma’s every sunday, french fries every wednesday, getting old, going on holiday at the same place every year. Some people are happy of this life, but is thesis what I want ?

Today I am 22 years old, and I wanna live my dreams. I will do my best to realise them.

Have a great day steemians! And live our life to the fullest
