2011 Is My New 2012

And when I thought 2010 was bad, it's not even close to this year. Ever have so much going on in your life and outside of it? A person can only take so much on their shoulders. I'd like to say I'm a good person to come and talk to, but really, my only skill is listening. I don't do the whole, 'advice giving' thing well. And I don't receive it well either, which I'm trying to work on. Life is such a mess and it only keeps on going. I didn't really give Death a thought until now. There are currently 6,775,235,741 people in the world and counting... But there are more people dying than there are infants being born. The older I've grown and aged, the more Death has been prominent. I should have expected it, my cousin died randomly in the middle of the night, due to her heart giving out. My real grandfather, who didn't even know existed until a couple of years ago, died of alcohol and drug abuse that his body couldn't handle itself anymore. I was naive to think we'd all die, yes, but not right now. In the past few months, I've grown to appreciate life for what it is. But the question is: What is Life?
