I first read this story years and years ago but recently, I found myself thinking about it. This led me back here to read it again. I love this story. It's one that sticks with you long after you read it

How do you live life like there’s no tomorrow? After watching the movie A Single Man yesterday, I had one question on my mind: How do you live like there’s no tomorrow? No matter what I thought, it didn't seem like the right answer. Or maybe it was right but only to a certain extent. Like in this case: One day, you want to call your mom or a friend. But later you say, “Well, I’ll just call tomorrow.” If you want to live your life by this saying, then the correct thing to do would be to call your mom or friend that very day if not the minute you want to do it. Because something could happen that night, or even in the next few hours, which leaves the person you wanted to call dead. And for the rest of your life, you’d be regretting not calling them earlier or wondering how that last conversation would have went. But in a different case, the answer isn’t so simple. What about a job you want to do when you get older? Or Places you want to see? Wishes you have for when you become an adult can’t fit into a 24-hour day. What about goals? Everyone tells you, you should have goals for the future. Something that keeps you going. How can you have wishes and plans to accomplish goals in the future, when you’re trying to live as though tomorrow, you’ll be dead? But then, this also leads to the subject of fear…. In the movie, the main character is an English Teacher. One day, in class, he talks to them about fear. Fear of growing old alone, getting killed, and death. If you have a constant fear that there might not be a tomorrow, how do you live today? All your mind can think about is what’s going to happen. Will your house burn down while you’re sleeping? Will someone run a red light? Will the roads be really slick? Fear can keep you from living your life and as the saying goes; you can’t really die if you’ve never really lived. I've heard people say you shouldn’t fear death because then how can you live. I've also heard to live like there’s no tomorrow because tomorrow is never promised. I guess the only way not to fear death is to accept it I guess the only way to live for today is to Say what you want to say Do what you want to do Don’t look back at the past And don’t focus on the future. It’s okay to have goals and things you want to do when you get older, but don’t get so caught up on the future that you forget what you have right now. You have today.

Great chapter! I was a bit surprised when Nate and Jeff did it. I thought when Mandy left the room, they were just gonna jack each other off or something like that. I figured the first time they did it would be special lol my mistake!

Invisible Can I disappear? Become someone else Stand in the lithosphere Just for an hour Maybe for a day It has to be possible These must be a way I wanna be above Away from the shadows Let me be free I won’t stand in the gallows Death is not a wish Or even a request It’s getting harder to breathe Knowing I can’t pass the test Humiliation Where’s my retaliation? I’m not anything But a creation Can I be on top? Have no one look down on me? Just a chance, just

Great poem! sad but true...

OMG! Best ending ever! you scared me there for a minute. i thought tibal was really gonna leave. I hate that the story is over though! you did a great job!

I can't believe Tibal has 2 little girls. OMG! it's just so cute seeing him as a dad to them. But now that Chad is back in the picture...hmmm...Wonder how and if Tibal and Chad are gonna put the pieces back together (Which i totally think they should!) Did Mia die??? I hope not. i mean even though she did get in between the boys, she did help them both out. she wouldn't deserve to die. I loved the chapter though. Great way to start part 3. I'll be waiting for the next.

no offence but i hate reading the ending of this chapter! I think it was so wrong of luke to do that. But it worked out ok i guess lol

Now i definatly see where luke and noah from the soap oprea come in at!!! i can't believe i didn't see it before. Noah tried to hide is feelings from luke in the soap too even though he really did like him. And Luke was opened about his feelings waiting for noah to finally admit to them. I knew something good would come out of watching those tv shows lol

OMG! i can't believe Chad did that. You surprised me there. Lol i wasn't for sure what would happen but i never thought that of all things would. Hmm i wonder what's gonna happen now. Tibal is gonna be miserable

Such a HUGE surprise about Eddie being in the wreck. It really scared me lol.

You're not too bad a reveiwing lol i'm glad you got somthing from them. As i grew up, i always thought that a poem had to rhyme. I know that it doesn't have to but it doesn't seem good enough to me if i don't make them rhyme.I will be writing more soon. Hope you stick around

I seriously thought Aaron was gonna rape Rory

Loved it. I must admit i did rate this story before i read it. But i had a good feeling about it. This poem was great.

Yay! this is the first story i've read that has my name in it It's pretty cool. Well maybe not my WHOLE first name. But close enough lol
