The End is the Beginning is the End

The big day is here...
the day you're gonna hear the news, the test result.
Is the biopsy malignant or benign?
Am I gonna live or die?
You just want to know.
Even if the news is scary.
Because then you can move on,
whatever that means. 

They say ignorance is bliss.
Because once you know about the tumor or the prognosis,
you can't go back.

Will you be strong or will you fall apart?
It's hard to predict. So don't worry about it.
Enjoy the time you have before the news come

Life

 

Every day, we get to give the gift of life. 

It can be painful. 

It can be terrifying. 

But in the end, it's worth it... every time. 

We all have the opportunity to give. 

Maybe the gift is to try and make a simple apology. 

Maybe it's to understand another person's point of view. 

Maybe it's to hold a secret for a friend. 

The joy, supposedly, is in the giving. 

So when the joy is gone... when the giving starts to feel more like a burden, that's when you stop. But if you're like most people I know... you give 'til it hurts.

And then you give some more.

Close

At the end of the day when it comes down to it, all we really want is to be close to somebody. So this thing where we all pretend to keep our distance is usually a load of bull, so we pick and choose who we want to remain close to and once we've chosen those people, we tend to stay close by no matter how much we hurt them. The people that are still with you at the end of the day, those are the ones worth keeping and sometimes close can be too close, but sometimes that invasion of personal space can be exactly what you need.
