Live Today Because Tomorrow Is Not Guaranteed

(ideas based on the book My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult)


Live today because tomorrow is not guaranteed.


This book is really getting me to think about life more. Like that my problems really aren’t that important. Some people just want to live to the next day, and they wont know what will happen. I basically know the basics of what will happen in my tomorrow. Some people say they want to be able to see the future, but I don’t. I don’t want to no what will happen. If I am supposed to die tomorrow, I don’t exactly want to know that. I would be all sad today and wouldn’t go live my normal, life. But on the other hand I may not get to say goodbye to people I love, and set everything right.

This book also shows from different points that people can definitely overreact and they may not always be acting like their usual self. There might be something going on that you don’t know about, and you cant expect them to tell you everything. They might not no how to tell you, or don’t want you to find out your truth. There are some things we do because we convince ourselves it would be better for everyone involved. We tell ourselves that its the right thing to do, the altruistic thing to do. Its far easier than telling ourselves the truth. Anna and her father moved out, to the fire station. They claimed to be just breathing and sometimes you need a breath in the fresh air, but in the truth none of them could handle the situation. The fire starts with a heat and grows in space and feeds off the air.

Actions speak louder than words, and some of the most truthful actions come from little kids. When we are little we don’t care what people think of us, and there’s not much hate in our lives, or we can’t understand that its hate. We do everything because we want to, because we can. When we grow up, we have to meet all of these expectations and qualifications, and we now understand the hate. The hate, is taken into our lives, and we don’t have that carefree idea about life. We have to be equal to, or better than everyone in our lives. We have to compete, but sometimes, someone lets you win your game, and you realize a whole truth and it is really good. It brings us back to how it was when we were little. When everything was really good. When I was little my mom made this book of a whole bunch of funny things that I did. She kept it. I found out something that happened a long time ago, but it brought me back to that, and I saw how other people saw me, and who I was before.


Everyone always compares us too our worst selves. Everyone always looks at your faults, not your positives. We always take one look at something, and say yeah, ummm no. But then we take it back after. We regret it. People that have seen some of the worst don’t say that because they get are treated differently, and may not live to the next day and if it was their last moment, they wouldn’t want to regret it. I am so grateful that I don’t have cancer, or seen war or things like that, but sometimes I think to see how they live would be good. To have a mind that would keep me in a positive attitude, and a mind that was open and lived for that moment.
Live today because tomorrow is not guaranteed.
