Alright. Please excuse me, my emotions are sort of all over the place right now. But I really needed to get this out.
I had too many good feels before, and I was going to go do something when I came across an article on the ninemsn page, detailing how a Melbourne boy had posted a video on how he was going to die and how he would like to thank everyone close to him for making his life "an awesome ride".
I watched it. If you're interested, here it is. But really, you should watch this. It's just so, so powerful.
I almost cried. I am heartbroken for this kid. He has so much of his life left to live... and he had hope that he was going to live as long as anyone of us. And to hear this news? God, it killed me.
It reminded me of another 'Heart Kid'. She went to my school. Her name was Paige. She was seventeen, and she had spent time in our grade to catch up, but was in Year 11, technically. She was nice and bubbly, and we loved having her around school. She had had a heart transplant and she was experiencing life to the fullest, not letting anyone hold her back.
We found she died almost two months ago now. It was awful. And I almost cried at that time too, honestly wondering why fate could be so cruel and offer her such an opportunity for life and then take it away from her just as quickly?
Hearing about these things make me mad. It makes me think about how I take my life for granted, and how I think it sucks, and then I see this. It's just awful. They don't deserve this. In fact, no one does. These are good people, just wanting to live and they'll never get that opportunity. And that makes me extremely upset.
I'm sorry about the depresso post, but I'm just... gah.
