You Can't Take It With You

First of all, i must apologize for not posting as much as i used to. i am quite busy, with school and all.

so, philosophical rant of the day...here we go...



Most things don't last forever. that's the way this world runs. Food rots. Machines break down. Things die.

What maked me so sad is that so many people don't realize this. they spend all their time, money, and effort invested in things that, in the long run, really don't matter. you know those people who spend all day shopping? and when they're not shopping, they talk about shopping. and that's it. that's their lives. the cutests pair of shoes. the newest ipod.

And those shallow people who are obsessed with the way they look, who can spend hours in front of the mirror, trying to make their faces look like a supermodel's.

and there are people who are obsessed with making money. that's theier whole lives. isn't it sad? or people who are inlove with their concerts, their television shows, even their blogs.

at the end of the day, what are you left with? when your show is canceled, when your money is spent, when your beauty fades. what do you have left?

if the answer is Nothing, then you have a very big problem.

Nothing lasts forever, including your life. when it's time for you to leave this world, what are you taking with you? you can't bring along your money, your cute shoes, your house, car, or even your beauty.

will people remember you as the person who touched so many others' lives? who was always there to help? or will you be remembered as the person who wore the nicest outfits and drove the nicest car? will you even be remembered at all? will you be worth remembering?

Most things can't last forever. but some things can. even after you die, the impact you've had on others can change the world. what you've done for the world can last an eternity, echoing throughout the ages in a never-ending melody.

So, when it's your time to go, what is going to be left?

I'M BACK!

Finally!
OK, first of all, i owe you all an apology. i know i promised to be back in august. however, i came home from camp only to find that my computer had completely broken down, and it took FOREVER to get a new one. i hope you guys still come on the blog. all those comments made me sad, cuz you were waiting for me, and i never came. well, i'm back now, and better than ever!
you know, you never really appreciate things until they're taken away from you. i never really appreciated my computer, because i figured i'd always have one. but these three months without blogging were torture!
this goes for everything else, too. my friend's father died last week. it was horrible. now i keep thinking about her. how she's never going to see her dad again. and i feel so stupid every time i think about all the stupid arguments i have with my parents, because now she doesn't have a parent to argue with. it's so sad.
and i never really appreciated you guys, all my blogging friends, until i lost you. i didn't realize what an impact you all made in my life. i LOVE sharing ideas with you. i love our discussions, debates, jokes, everything!
i've got to work on never taking you for granted again.
thanks, guys.
i can't wait to start blogging with you again!
