But eventually, there are no days left for any of us.
At that point, better or worse doesn't matter.
I recently had an experience that showed me very clearly that so many of the trivial things that we worry about in day to day life really mean so little when you realise just how close you are (or could be) from not being here at all. It's all about perspective. Once you get a healthy dose of it, your entire universe shifts - so yes, I get it.
It is easy to let life get away from us, because we focus on stuff that is not actually that important, even though it feels it at the time. Just think how most teens are in high school - the circumstances change as we age, but do many of us act any different?
I'm very glad that I can say that I have grown up a shit ton since being a teenager. Do I act differently? Most definitely. I was a snotty little cow back then. Actually some people may still think that about me, lol.
We are often very unaware of the bigger picture because we are so heavily immersed in the minutia of the day to day.
