PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

To all of you out there who may, or may not, have heard the cheesy ideals of carpe diem before, listen up...



There are many things in life taken for granted, "temporarily" forgotten and/or put to the back of our minds in that misplaced vault of things we intend to get to later. I have lived and seen so many things in my life to now come to understand how greatly each action and each word can so heavily weigh on your goals and dreams. Not to sound like life is treading on eggshells. Quite the contrary.



Now to get to the nitty gritty...



Take a moment now and then to evaluate your life and the things in which you care about the most. Of these things are you holding true? It may be a family member, a friend, a significant other, a pet, an inanimate object, a goal, an aspiration, etc... Regardless, it could be slipping through your fingers at this very moment.



At the risk of sounding too negative, no one is here forever. Loss is a part of life, but we can limit it. Loss comes in so many forms. All of which destroy something.



So many things could be fixed and/or worked on with what will be a considerably little effort compared to the loss that could result. Don't let it come to that point where you realize too late. Heed all of your warnings. They are there. Do not loose what could so easily be yours, or your key to happiness. Open yourself up to those around you. You may not even realize that they want to tell you things that they don't because they feel like they can't. They may have already been trying to tell you but you aren't listening. This note is too late for some. Maybe it wouldn't even have helped at all. It hurts me to see so many friends that could be so close to the edge. Walking on cracked ice that is just too thin- about to become subject to the whirlpool that lies below. Trust me. Not everyone can come back from that. (As some of us have probably seen). You will live your life forever wondering if THAT decision were different.... If I had just listened that one time... If I had just done that one thing differently... If I had only....



Love every day. Keep those close to you that belong there. Do not feel pressured to subject your happiness to those who would take advantage. Say what you feel. Be what you believe. Make that person feel special now and then. Don't smother. Don't lie- even if you think it will hurt. Smile. Laugh even when it's hard to. Get angry when it is necessary. Realize when something is trivial. Cry if you need to. Find an outlet that doesn't hurt those you love. Breathe. Hope. Wish. Dream. Be cliché or corny if you feel like it. Just sit and enjoy the weather sometime. Close your eyes and smell something nice. Treat yourself. Treat those you love. Feel passionately.



It seems like so much, but it really isn't. I have seen so many people accomplish so many things that are much more difficult. Yet they do not stop to do things that matter to well being and a life in the long run.



Do not make the same mistakes some of us have. Learn from yours, learn from those around you and learn from this.



If you feel the need to pass this note, you can repost if you would like. I don't mind. If you don't, nothing bad will happen to you. This is not a stupid chain letter. You will not have any bad luck, or other superstitious things occur. If you pass this note, it is only because there is someone out there that needed to hear it. It may be you, it may be a family member, a friend, a significant other, a pet, an inanimate object, a goal, an aspiration, etc... Regardless, it could be slipping through your fingers at this very moment.



Thank you for reading.







Yes I wrote this, but not from the perspective you would think.
