I'm free fallin'

'All the vampires walkin through the valley
Move west down ventura boulevard
And all the bad boys are standing in the shadows
All the good girls are home with broken hearts'


It's funny isn't it, how different situations make you feel different. Being wiht people your own age or yonger makes you fel older, whereas being with oler people you feel like you fit in, until they know your age then you feel young, like you're the child and they're the teacher.  I know that people say you shouldn't grow up to fast, that you should enjoy being young, but the truth is time flies.  You think you have time to do everything you wish to ahieve, you believe that time will slow down for you and allow you to do everything that matter to you. But the fact is it doesn't.  Time eats away at itself, uses itself up so even though you started with what felt like forever, you actually end up with very little time at all.

Everyone has dreams, things that seem unlikely to happen, but we wish them to. The thing is we only have one life, instead of dreaming, why not get on that rollercoaster and chase our dreams, it's not like we'll have a second chance too.  Eventually we'll die and never get to do what we enjoy, we don't know what happens after death, but that unknowingness should make us chase what we want in this life.
  We forget that some people have no chance to live their life. Their time is cut shorter than it should be. They don't have a chance to chase their original dreams, they the ae new dreams.  Their new dreams are what we purely expect and think will happen in life. Yet they mean so much to these people. They dream of getting a job, owning a house, getting married, having children, family holidays, seeing their children grow up, then growing old with their lover. It's sad to think that we take these things for granted and we just expect them when for some people they are merely a distant dream.

Next month i am running the race for life, this supports cancer research, it raises money which then goes towards into research towards cancer treatments, ways of preventing it, ways of killing it, also it helps people already with cancer. I'm running it in memory of my grandad, he died last year from bowel cnacer, he was one of the lucky ones in a way though, he had llived, he got married, had children and grew old. However it is never nice, especially to see a life wither away in front of you.  I don't think you truly appreciate everything until you see and experience something like that. My cousins fiance passed away a few years ago, due to lukemia, he unlike my grandad hadn't lived his life and it was cut short.  It was cut short just as he was beginning to live, he didn't even have time to get married. My cousin is now happily married, i know though that she will always love Andrew and her love for someone lese can do nothing to change that.

Cnacer affects a high percentage of people across the world, you never know who could have it, it could possibly be one of your family, so please sponsor me for the race for life, help raise money for caner, you're investing in yours and your loved ones futures!
