Time

It's been a while (a rather long while) since I've written anything here. I've been... busy. With work, with friends, with life. The endless workshops out of town, the endless nights out with friends, the endless hustle and bustle of everyday life. I've been so preoccupied with living life that I forgot to write it down. I think it's important to write things down. It's a way of remembering events, names, feelings. I like writing things down because it helps me organize my thoughts, and in effect, my priorities.

I've been living my life like there's no tomorrow, and i try to make every day count. I'm always out with the people I care about the most, and I make sure that I have a good time with them. Even if it's just for a while. You never know when something will make the present change. You never know when you'll see your loved ones again. You can plan for it, of course, but sometimes plans change and things just don't happen as you predicted.

Tomorrow I'm leaving the country, and I won't be back for two weeks. Who knows what I'll find when I get back? Will all my friends still be here? What about my loved ones? We can never tell. I'm writing now to tell you all that I love you. I love each and every person who's been a part of my life and has helped me grow into who I am now. I love all my friends who are there for me day in and day out, in good times and in bad. You guys rock. I love you all because you understand me. I love you all because you tolerate me. I love you all because you've given so much of that precious gift to me. Your time.

Nothing in the world is more precious than time. We all have a limited amount of it in our lives, and once you've spent it, there's no getting it back. That's why I appreciate the time given to me so much. I know that whoever has spent time hanging out, drinking, biking, shooting, talking with me and even just reading my words has spent his or her valuable time on me. And that's a big responsibility. I try to make sure that the time you do spend is worth spending on me. I know that it's not the case all the time. I know that I can be boring sometimes, or I can talk nonsense at other times, but I still appreciate that you do spend the time on me. I don't know how I can repay you for the time you spent. It's the most valuable gift you have ever given me. All I can really do is say thank you. From the bottom of my heart.
