Reflection and The Almighty $
If I died today, would I be happy with the life that I've lived? To answer that question honestly I'd have to say NO. At age 28 there's so much I want to do with my life and I've yet to accomplish it. I've met so many people as of late who're happy with their jobs, relationship, and have done so much more than I. I'll admit I'm totally jellous.
One could say to me to just "do it" and go about my dreams etc......but that's where reality comes in. Yes, I could just quit my jobs (that I'm not fond of) and travel the world or whatever, but I still need $ to pay my bills and with some dreams, such as going to Cosmetology/Barber school again it will require $ that I just don't have at the moment. It's just amazing how $ is such a necessity for a lot of happiness/to make things happen, but if I spend my entire life worrying about $ I'll probably never be happy so it's like a double edged sword.
All in all, there's no doubt that $ isn't needed to live in this world and to do fun stuff, but looking back I'll admit I've had some great times with my friends and family without that much $ and my life hasn't been totally horrilbe. Also, there's nothing that says I won't be able to accomplish my dreams of finding love, working a job I love, and traveling the world. It might all not happen so soon. Again here comes reality telling me that I'm not promised tomorrow and there's no guarantee that I will live past tonight or 30 or whatever..... I guess I've gotta learn not to be so bitter and jellous of others and learn to be thankful for what I have done and do have. When I do die, I'm sure I'll have a greater appreication for it all and regret not enjoying my life while I lived it.

I have to say i learned somthing goign through the hell i did. Not to compare yoru life to anyone elses. if you do you will only see the down side... still reason that is so is because the grass is always greener on the other side. You may see what they have to show like a great job or love but who knows the bad parts. you only see the good parts comparing it to your not as good parts. I am just saying be thankful for what you have.
and to answer teh question... I woudl be ok if i died tomorrow. I would not wish it since there is more to do i think in my life. But i would be ok. I met some really great people and i been to alot of different places both good and bad.
I know my mark is set in the hearts of my friends and family so in turn i will sort of live forever in memories and fies that bond.
I know things will work out for you. I believe in you john. you know that. so make that $ and make me proud. but most important.. make you proud!
