Tomorrow Never Knows

Pulling out of school parking lot today, may have been the most awakening moment I have had in my life so far. It's a two lane drive, one for going left, the other for going right. We were waiting to turn left, when someone in the right lane obstructed our view. My mom (who was driving for me since I had an awful headache) had already started to turn, but can to a screeching stop. 3 cars, going 55 mph would have crashed into the passenger door of our car, where I was sitting, if she hadn't stopped. We didn't come out perfect, our back bumper was crashed into by a egger high school boy behind us, but it turned out so much better than it could have. It startled me, a lot. I was very close to being seriously hurt, if not worse. It  made me think how small and insignificant we really are. If I had died today, in the accident, the world would still be here, people would still be going about their days as if nothing happened. If you died tomorrow, are you happy with what you've done today, yesterday, the weeks, and years before? These are the days of our lives. Tomorrow never knows, tomorrow is NOT promised. We are always, ALWAYS, living for tomorrow, but maybe it's time we start trying to live for today.
