Life is Short

So today I had this thought. I mean, a lot of people say life is short.... but it REALLY is. I mean, I've almost lived a quarter of a century, and it feels like nothing. Just a few more rounds of that and I'm out of here.

And the other day I was thinking about dying. What if it really hurts? There are only a few ways to die that don't hurt. I guess I don't think about it much, because it doesn't seem close. But it could really happen any day. It's amazing how little separates us from death sometimes.

I don't know what brought on these thoughts of my own mortality. Maybe that's what happens when you get older. Not saying I'm old... but I'm not getting any younger :)
