Life

It seems like Japan is all over the news today. I was awake when it happened. I couldn't believe the images I was seeing. I went to bed with those thoughts in my head. All those families...mothers who lost their children, children who won't ever see their daddies again....it wrecked me.

I feel for all of the countries effected by Mother Natures furry. I send them nothing but good vibes.

It did bother me a little bit that people in California were freaking out about it possibly hitting us. We would not have felt ANYTHING like the people in Japan did. We would have felt nothing like the magnitude they felt. People freaked out about minor waves in compared to those in Japan.

I suppose that I feel this way because of the fact that so little of us are prepared for an emergency situation. I just wish that people would have been more prepared in this horrific tragedy. I do realize that an earthquake and a tsunami are hard situations to prepare for but I just wish that others would be more prepared.

This situation made me realize that I need to prepare for any type of situation that comes at me.

While talking to Him...he stated that he would come to California and try to save me if I couldn't go there. If zombies happened, he'd steal a car and save me. If some horrible situation happened in California...he'd try to get here. It made me realize that life is so short and precious. Life is unpredictable. Eventually everyone will die. It makes me sad and worried that I haven't met him yet and that I can't say to myself that I was able to kiss him, wrap my arms around his neck and hug him with all of my might. It makes me over whelmed knowing that we are barely starting our lives when we are so willing and just anxious to be more than just us right now.

But time is not over. This is what I repeat in my head. Time is not over.

To the families in the numerous countries, you are in my thoughts.
