Why don't we bring food to QRT anymore?

This past weekend amidst all the relaxing and sleeping I spent quite some time internet surfing. During this time, I got stuck looking at blogs. One blog led to another and I just kept going.
On one page I found a poem which, I believe, is very relatable, here it goes:


sometimes my hands feel so small.

sometimes my blankets are cold
no matter how long I lie in them.

sometimes I watch a movie because I know it makes me cry.

sometimes I forget that most of the stars I'm
looking at are dead and most of the people 
who have looked at the stars are dead.
(not to mention the lovers who the poems were written about)
but the poets then probably didn't know this 
because when you look at the sky,
it's impossible to tell which are alive 
and which are dead or dying
they just keep shining no matter what
and when I'm dead
I won't be able to know which
stars have burned out and been 
forgotten.

sometimes I forget that
I don't want to think about being dead.
I always like to pretend that I'll
live forever 
and never fade away
and never be forgotten. 


At first when I finished reading the poem I expected it to be signed by a famous author, but it was actually written by a 19 year old that ran the blog. The message is so simple and expressive so I was compelled to share it.
I mean, I wish I'm never forgotten. Ever since I've studied history all the important inspirational figures have stuck out to me for being remembered, and these people motivate me to make important contributions to society in my lifetime. Also being forgotten after death is kind of scary. To think that after spending 70-80 years on this earth people will forget who you were, what you liked to do, what were your favorite things, who was your favorite musical group, and together it's all a little scary to comprehend.
But at the end of the day, its important to cherish the time we've got here, and just like make the best of it. As the famous poet Drake said, "It's the motto friend YOLO"

Lastly:
On a completely different subject

The longest English word without a vowel is twyndyllyngs, which means "twins."

Cheers Love and Thanks
