"And if I am to die in a car accident, I want Enya to be the music playing while it's happening."  -- Jamie Hiner

I don't know if you've ever been in a car accident, but I've been in my fair share.  None that were my fault, meaning I didn't have much control.  Back to my point, every time that I've been in an accident my life hasn't necessarily flashed before my eyes.  But, each time I've felt the world slow down enough to start moving in slow motion.  As if everything is this slow blur that's trying to move fast but just can't.  You don't know the full outcome of what is happening, and so you tend to have those flashbacks.  The ones that people describe as their life flashing before their eyes.  Reviewing memories in those few seconds that begin to feel like hours.  And its in those moments that you realize just how precious life really is.

Then I begin to realize that in most cases, unless you've had a near death experience, you don't realize just how precious life is.  Just how easily it can be snatched from you.  And how much you really don't have control of.  I know I have.  And for this I value each day.  And even if I'm sad, I smile because I know that for that one thing that is making me sad, there are ten things making me happy.  So, I really do try to live life to the fullest.

So anyways, I know this drifted, but I guess my point is stop living as if you're immortal, and start really valuing what you have.
