FRAGILE LIFE

Less than 11 months ago I walked around the streets of Paris and had the time of my life

 with two of my very best friends. We laughed, danced around, and eat in the coolest

 restaurants among all the Parisians and other tourists whom were also having the time of

 their lives. Two days ago a suicide bomber blew himself up in one of the exact restaurants

 my friends and I had laughed, danced around, and ate in. Nothing less than 129 civilians lost

 their lives on while being out, having fun just as my friends and I did last December.

Having been in one of the crime scenes and having a close friend who was in Paris doing the 

attack, have made me think about the horrible episode more than I maybe would have done if 

that hadn’t been the case. It really has made me think of how fragile life really is. My friend 

who was in Paris doing the attack could just as well have been in one of the restaurants 

which got blew up that night as the restaurant could have blown up in December when my 

friends and I was there instead of this Friday. 

Why I’m sharing my reflections upon this situation with you is because I want you to reflect 

as well. I don’t want you to think about how short life can be, and then again I do. I want you

 to think about the things you want to do with your life, whether it’s something small or 

something small, think about it. All those 129 civilians who lost their life that night, could have 

lived a long life and had time to pursue their dreams, but unfortunately didn’t. Let this be an 

eye opener for you and start living as you could die tomorrow, because as the thing is these 

days, there’s a chance that you do. With all this terrorism, which we don’t know where will 

hit next, we all have to live every day the fullest, and only do what we love with the people we 

love. Life is too uncertain to not make the best of every second. Please, pray for Paris, but also

pray for the rest of the world, pray for me, pray for yourself, and live your life to its fullest.

I repost my favourite photos from when I visited Paris last winter to honour a city and a 

people that deserves so much better than an attack like this. All my thoughts and blessings 

goes to the victims and those who've lost their loved ones in the absurd unfair situation.
