You can't live your life in pity.
Life is like an hour glass.
Day upon day.
The sand of life is slipping away.
Some have more grains than others.
But eventually, it will all run out.
The tiny rocks will stay at the bottom, and once they're there, you will have wished you listened.

I've learned this the hard way. I've seen people waist their sand, or even tried to stop the flow or the rate at witch the hour glass falls. I believe people need to hear this msg. I almost lost my best friend to suicide once, she wished she listened. that, of coarse, was what inspired me to write about life and death.
