Why you ask? Well, some of you know I'm a firefighter and I see some bad stuff.
I worked a call earlier and it came in as 79 y/o male unresponsive not breathing. The medunit (ambulance) was coming from the city (atleast 15 min drive). We get on scene and we work on him for atleast 45 mins. He didn't come back, he was gone.
I know you are probably wondering why does this matter? Well, I've worked alot of calls where some bad stuff has happened such as this, but this one touched my heart. To hear the mans wife say "no, no, don't tell me that", and to see her about collapse it truly heart breaking. To hear that her husband had passed away right there.
I'm not asking for rep, sympathy, or anything else.
I'm asking that you think about how life is, and what it would do to you or your family if someone close or even you passed away at this moment.
Please don't troll this thread.
Me being 14, is a very important time in my life. This is the where i got to predict my future; what i want to do for living, where i want to live, if i want kids or not, etc. Most kids nowadays are distracted by many things such as drugs and other distractions. They dont have the time to think of life and then they do drugs. If they decided to take the time to think "gee, why am i doing this?" they could be doing something more productive. My point is, people have to live life while it lasts. Not that YOLO crap where you go jumping roof tops or something, i mean to do something WORTH living. Life is a PRIVILLAGE, and an OPPORTUNITY. If you dont do something worth living, your opportunity will come to an end. Yeah i know im only 14 blah blah blahhh, but i try living my life as someone should. Im going to high school, so im studying a lot, doing physical activities to keep me in good shape so im nice and healthy, im looking for a career to do (thinking of MLB baseball). So i hope people live life at its fullest and dont waste their opportunity that other people and DIE. People die everyday. If you dont want to die, do something worth living.
