"Life is both long and short. Two opposite things at once. For those in hospitals, with the end in sight, life is short, literally. But for others it seems so long you have to squint to see the edges of it.
What you have to decide is how you want your life to be. If your forever ended tomorrow, would this be how you'd want to have spent it? Even if you're constantly worrying about the dangers around you, and you've already gotten the biggest scare of your life- Don't be afraid, be alive.
The truth about forever is that it is always changing. For any of us, our forever could end in an hour, or a hundred years from now. You can never know for sure...so you better make every second count."
