Does it

ever blow your mind that this is the one life that we have
that this life that we have is finite and fragile
it drives me crazy this thought
because it's so scary
because it makes you want to do everything and nothing
it makes you want to grab people by their shoulders and shake them until they realize that they are wasting their time worrying about trivial things
and it makes you wonder why we do what we do

life is just too short
this is a saying we frequently hear
so much so that when we do hear it we don't really listen to it anymore
that's what happens with sayings -- we become conditioned to them so that they have a meaning that is taken at face value
-- but if you really think about it -- life is too short
it's scary, inconceivable because our lives are too short
my life is too short
this one life that I have -- the only life that I know

there's permanency in my actions -- i can't go back and change what's already happened
and yet there's transcience in my actions -- my life is but a fleeting moment in the scope of everything

i wish there was some sort of resolution to these thoughts
because wouldn't that be nice?

but instead i'll just go on with my life same as i always have because it's all i have and all i know how to do and then some time from now i'll think about it again and again and again

and it will just keep blowing my mind
