I'll be waiting on a hot air balloon.

It's absolutely amazing how fast a day goes by, and how fast a day turns into a year, and before we know it your life is almost over. It's almost like being on a ride, and every now and then the ride slows down, and you start to realize the ride doesn't keep going forever, and pretty soon before you know it the ride will be over. Everyone has thought about it, but i don't think that many people realize how serious it is. One day we'll all be gone forever, and to be quite honest, i believe everyone takes this life for granted. Take a look around this world, it can be anything you want it to be, if you think it's too dangerous, or too scary, or you're angry with people in this world, then you'll never be happy. This world does have it's flaws, just like the people who breathe the air on it's surface, but if you really open your eyes and look beyond the people, and the bad things, you will see so many things.

I live for long walks, no matter where it might be, just to step outside of my own life for awhile place myself along the outside for awhile. Seeing children playing, animals running free, the wind wiping through the trees, lovers holding each other and other people just like me living there every day life. Those things make me happy because the spirits of all of those people are so alive and full of positive energy, and if you stop and think about how beautiful it is to just be alive, you'll feel more alive then you ever have.

Sometimes i do get a little scared of death, and what will happen to me when i leave this beautiful place. I do believe in god, though sometimes the thoughts and the fear is still in the back of my head. It's hard to not be sad about leaving this place when you think of all the great wonderful things that you've seen. But something i have realized is that even if what i believe isn't true and i leave this earth only to be disappointed by the fact that there is no heaven, at least i believed in something, because a life of not believing in anything is a very sad thing. Though, it's hard for me to understand how people don't believe in anything. With all of these beautiful miracles and signs, how could you turn your head the other way and pretend like there is an explanation. Don't get me wrong, it's not that i think it's wrong to not believe. I don't think there is any correct way to live your life, or any correct belief that you should follow. To me, as long as you are happy and have no regrets, at the end of your life, you will find your peace before you shut your eyes.
