A Little Reminder For You All

[Sora 2,185]

Now I don't make threads like this very often but I felt the need to share this one with you all.

 

I'm sure most of you have heard by now, but for those who haven't yet, Carrie Fisher who is most known for playing Princess Leia in the Star Wars series has died today at the age of 60. May she rest in peace.

 

I don't know about you guys but this news came as a bit devastating for me, especially since I grew up a huge Star Wars fan. But what was more shocking for me than losing a childhood hero of mine was the fact that she was only 60 years old. My own dad is 62 so it gives me chills thinking about it all.

 

But at this time, and keeping in mind all the terrible news 2016 has given us, I think it is the best chance for me to remind all of you that death is a part of life. And as dark and saddening as it may sound death is the only thing that is guaranteed in this life.

 

Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying this just to be a negative Nancy, and I'm definitely not saying this to try and get you all to stop grieving (trust me I know how tough it is to get over a death of someone important to you) but instead I am telling you all of this to remind you that you never know when's the last time you might see someone.

 

You never know when the last time you interact with someone may be, you never know what your last convo with a person is or whether what you say to them is the last thing you'll ever get a chance to say to that person directly.

 

Which is why I urge each and every one of you to try to treat everyone with respect, remind your loved ones how important they are to you every day no matter how embarrassing it might seem to you at the time, because trust me a little embarrassment is nothing compared to the regret of losing someone and not letting them know how you feel about them before it's too late. Tell your parents and siblings and any family or friends you have that you love and appreciate them everyday if you can because you never know when's the last time you may see them.

 

Anyways I hope this thread doesn't sadden anyone and instead can help motivate you in making the right decisions when it comes to your relations with people and grieving processes.

Not trying to be negative but i'm honestly totally incapable in doing anything you said above,might sound a little heartless.

It does little to cheer anyone up, however:

She drowned in moonlight, strangled by her own bra. RIP.

I agree with you. I just wish to see some folks I know for a long time, before they are gone. Like I haven't seen my uncle in years, then he's gone when I was still in community college...

I got so sad when I learned about Carrie . I was such a huge fan of her .I'm still pretty sad to be honest .

 

I'm not the "live everyday like it's your last" kind of guy and I honestly don't believe that's a good way to live but I do know and have realised that there are two certainties in life : taxes and death . I keep reminding that to myself every single night I go to sleep . I am trying not to think about negative stuff but I am always ready to face them and accept them even if it takes a while .

Honestly, I've never even been the biggest Star Wars fan, but this one just hit me. She was a wonderful actress and human being. She did everything wrong and everything right in one lifetime, which is saying something.

Yeah, I know what you mean! I had heard about Carrie's heart attack a few days ago, and I was definitely startled but relieved that she was in stable condition! But when I find out today that she died, I was shocked! She was stable, for crying out loud! D:  And well, I have to say, this loss has been shocking and sad! Carrie was just 60 years old! It's sad how life can get you like that all of a sudden!

 

But Sora, you are correct!  This just gives us all the more reason to be aware of what our inevitable fate is, but at the same time, not let ourselves wait for that moment to come! Until our time comes, we enjoy life to the best of our ability! We strive for our dreams, we live to experience new things, we let our loved ones know how much we mean to them, we live a full life, hoping to God!  And well, I can rest easy, because I always let my loved ones know just how important they are in my life, and they always let me know, so I'm good there!

 

Really, though, cherish the people that are most important to you, because you never know when you'll see them again. 

 

Rest in peace, Carrie Fisher!  And may everyone stay strong, and may the Force be with us!
