Fragile.

Have you ever though of how fragile your life is?
I mean sure, we all know that we could die at any second but have you ever really thought about it.
I had a really close friend who was 16 in 2008. He and his friends went to the lake in our town during spring break. They had fun while they were driving to the lake, there were no parents around which made it even more fun. Make a long story short they all decided to swim to the other side of the lake. Byron (my close friend) started complaining of stomach cramps so they slowed down a little. A boat came by and the under current swept him under. Everyone freaked out. They swam back to shore, everyone was a crying mess. The cops came to look for his body and found it a few hours later. He died.
What was suppose to be a fun, nice trip to the lake turned out to be the worst day ever.
Now do you see how fragile life is? This just shows that we could die at any moment. Even when we think that we can't.
Don't take life for granted. You have one life to live so make sure to make the most out of it.
