Someone very wise...

My friend Sam wrote this after our friend, Justin Sigley, passed away.

"Make your life ... your life. Live your life the way you want to live it. If you let someone live it for you, is it still your life? Live each day like you mean it. Live each day to the fullest. Enjoy the earth, the blue sky, and the deep green grass before it passes into memory. You only live once, you only get one shot at each moment. 30 years from now, what will you think of what you did today? The people around you don't always stay there, they'll be gone before you know it, and by then, you'll wish you could see them again because there not in touching distance. Love you friends, because no matter how much you might want to scream at them sometimes, they're you friends. Appreciate everything in life no matter how big or small, because everything is a blessing but we get too wrapped up in our own petty problems to realize how lucky we are to have the things we have. Make your life matter, spend it how you want to, and don't waste your life ... because some people were never able to live one."
