Live, Learn but don’t Forget.

Often in this world we have the tendency of taking people an things for granted. Specially the people that surround us. I say that because today I got a call from life, a very urgent call that has the topic of “garanty...” Yes that's right; guaranty of people.

After getting a message on Facebook from my cousin back home on Monday, telling me that” a dear friend I had known for more than  5 years is no longer among us! He had passed away 5 months ago Gui!!” Shocking right? I didn’t know what to feel, what to say and what to think about the whole situation. The  only thing that came up in my mind was: Where was I five months ago? As a friend I feel awful...

 Have you ever asked yourself this kind of question: “what did I do today that will make me unforgettable on the eyes of my friend?” , “What if I had a limited amount of time to spend with my beloved ones, what would I do? What would I say?” That’s exactly my point today. I am here to remind you that everything in this world has a limited time. Do say “I miss You when you really do, Do say how special the person is if you really mean it.

The guaranty of life is not the one based on your future plans, but one that keeps the sparkles of love awake. A life with constant reminder that we are here in this world to take care of one another. A future exists if the present is felt. I will now ask you this: “would you rather have an image of the future and ignore the one standing right next to you?” or would you rather ignore the fixed image of the future on top of your head and just live for what there is today?

Now I am not saying that you should stop going to class or anything crazy like that. All I am saying is that on your way to class, instead of envisioning your grades and how focused you must be, pay a close attention to your fellow friend walking with you to that class. Say  hi to him/her like you mean it. Spread the sparkles of life. Remind yourself and your surrounding that we are here with a limited amount of time, so you might as well just embrace it.

Now I am here sharing my story because I want to teach everybody the power of life based on my experience. I want each and everyone of you reading my story right now to start appreciating who we have and if possible let those people in your life know how special they are.
