The Day I Lived

This is a sad story. It shows how life should be appreciated, and why taking risks brings the soul happiness. Moral is, take risk in life, be happy, and appreciate every second of the life you have.

Why take risk in life? Simple... it brings you happiness and appreciation of it. -CyberSora

Good morning. I had just awaken at 8:47 A.M., didn't I? Of course I did, I know. I wake up at 8:47 A.M. everyday of my life. After that, I get out of bed and take exactly four steps to the door and I turn the knob at an exact 90 degree angle. Five steps later, I arrive at the bathroom. I turn the shower faucet at 360 degrees, then take nine steps to my room, where I take off my clothes, shorts first, socks second, shirt third, and underware last. I take ten steps back to the shower. I shower for exactly five minutes. I never change that, in fact, I never change anything, especially my daily routine.

I take six steps into my room, to dry myself and change. Four steps again to my bathroom, I take my half inch toothpaste that I squirted on my toothbrush, and begin brushing my teeth with 167 strokes. So by now, your wondering why I do this everyday, doing the exact same thing. Well, if I change something, I'm taking a risk in life. So to avoid taking a risk in life, I do this everyday of my life. So you see, I don't have to deal with change, nor do I deal with gambling of anything or risks.

Fifteen steps out the bathroom and down the hall to the stairs. Twenty-seven steps down the stairs. Five steps to my front door, and I turn the lock at a 186 degrees. Twenty-nine steps to my car. I open my car door at a 67 degree angle, and close it shut as I turn the keys to start the car. I make a U-turn and take off down the road. This was my daily drive. This seemed to be the only time I don't count. I don't count the steps I take, or the strokes my toothbrush make, or the seconds that I just drove. Nothing. This was just going to be a regular drive... that is until I stopped at the stop sign.

At the stop sign, I couldn't help but sit there and think. I don't change, I'm not happy, I don't have a reason. I don't even have a purpose. So I did the only thing that came to mind... I ran. I ran and I ran, and I didn't stop. I didn't count the steps I took, how far I went, or even the time it took me to get there. For the first time in my life, I was happy. For the first time of my life, I had changed. For the first time of my life, I had a purpose. For the first time of my life, I had tears of joy falling from my eyes. I ran faster, trying to capture the change. I now didn't just existed. I actually lived, I lived for the first time of my life... then it stopped.

I opened my eyes and saw my lifeless body as I started to leave Earth for Heaven. I saw people, gathering around. I was hit by a car when I was running, but I didn't feel it over my joy. I know that people would think I regret changing now, but I didn't. I lived, not just existed. I was just existing on Earth, but on my last moment on Earth, I lived. I was happy as I left, glad that I died. Now that I was going to Heaven, I don't need to worry about risks. I was happy that the last 20 seconds of my life on Earth were actually lived with happiness and appreciation of my life. I chose to run down the street, leaving safe behind and taking risk instead. As I got closer to the light, I smiled at my body with my face full of tears of joy, and knew I had taken a risk... and now I was alive, not dead. Alive.

Moral of the Story: Take risks. Appreciate life to the fullest and be happy. Remember change is good,not bad.

I died a little inside D: Very powerful story, I feel sad and happy at the same time. In fact, this deserves my patented double smiley -> :-D-:

Although I did grin at:


I lactually lived, I lived for the first time of my... until I got hit by a car.

I'm sorry, I love dark humour, and this the perfect hue of black NB: Remove the l in lactually.

No. I don't have a friend who died. It's based on the world. Reading books of people dying and news of people drop dead made me realize how fast life goes on by. So this is where the story comes in.

I don't mention the character's name, nor gender. It's you. You are the character. I made it so you put yourself there, to make you realize that you to need to appreciate life. It's something that will make you think after you imagine it happening to you.

I'll also put a "Might make you sad" note if neccesary.

Oh ya. It's fictional/non-fictional. In other words, this never happened, but it's based on the world and life we live in.2009-10-30 03:12:00

I don't even have a porpuse.

Purpose, not porpuse.
Sorry, I get really nit-picky about spelling.
