[beaujagr]

If I die [because you thought I was too] young,

bury me in [the rubble of the system that killed me, wrapped in] satin

Lay me down [on the bloodied flag] in a bed of roses

Sink me in the river [, we ride] at dawn

如果我青春早逝 用綢緞覆蓋我吧 讓我躺在玫瑰鋪成的床上 在破曉時分沈我入河 用一首情歌裡的字句為我送行吧 上帝請讓我變成一段彩虹吧 當她站在我的七彩光芒下 她會知道我已平安的來到您身邊 而人生就是不會如你所願 甚至陰沉到讓白髮人送黑髮人 生命苦短的痛有如尖銳刀鋒 至少我還有體驗過這一段 #IfIDieYoung #TheBandPerry #lyrics #handwriting （在 Taipei, Taiwan） https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce33U0APhY-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Everyone talks about depression as if they know it.

But what they don’t know is that depression is a hooded figure standing just outside of a wooden doorway,

it’s feeling the blood dripping down your skin and having the sick thought of “Oh, look how beautiful the red is”

Eğer genç ölürsem, denizi gören bir yere gömün beni. Hayatım boyunca hep deniz görmek istedim, onun uçsuz bucaksızlığında kendime çizdiğim sınırlarımı aşmak istedim. Bir kış günü olsun cenazem, soğuktan titresin herkes. Bu soğuk onlara hayatta hep geri plandaki olduğumu hatırlatsın. Cenazemde annem dışında kimse mezarıma çiçek koymasın, haketmiyorlar çünkü. Bu Dünya'ya annemle geldim ve onunla gideceğim.

Eğer genç ölürsem, bilinsinki bu dünyadan bir Sudem geçti. Masmavi hayallerine prangalar takılmış bir kız. "Bizden hiç umudunu kesmedi." yazsın mezar taşımda mavi renkle. Çünkü hiç umudumu kesmedim onlardan, bir gün benimde görülebilir olacağıma inandım. Olmadı belkide kaderdir bu, bazıları görülmek istesede görülemez ya.

Eğer genç ölürsem, ağlamasın arkamdan annem. Ben onu her daim izleyeceğim. Güldüğünde gülecek, ağladığında ağlayacağım.

Son olarak her yıl doğum günümde lavantalar dizilsin mezarıma, çok severim onları. Bu lavantalar hayatımda olmalarına rağmen yılda sadece bir gün beni hatırlayanlara benden son bir armağan olarak kalsın Dünya'da...

A penny for my thoughts, oh no I'll sell them for a dollar

They're worth so much more after I'm a goner

And maybe then you'll hear the words I been singin'

Funny when you're dead how people start listenin'

if i die young

don't cry, don't blame yourself, don't think you didn't do anything to change what happened, don't feel.

if I die young, look up and see the sun, take a deep breath, walk away from those who don't make you feel confident, bright and unique, change your habits for the better, be grateful,

do what i didn't.

If I die young

I've come to the realization that no matter when I die, I will leave a "to do list" behind.

Partly because, if you know me, you know I love lists. I live my life by them. But mostly because no matter how much I accomplish in this life, there is always more to do. One more person to help. One more cause to fight for. I'm ok with that. Because it's not about "regrets". It's about having a mind that always hopes, always dreams and is always striving. I think that is how we should live. Never like we have "arrived", but like there is always more to learn and do. My personal belief is that we were all born with a God-given purpose, and as long as I have breath, God still has a plan for my life.

But is it bad to carry dreams, goals, and vision to the grave? I don't believe it is... I believe we can pass those on, to those we leave behind.

But in the meantime, how do we LIVE? It's not our death that most defines us. But rather the deeds done in life. I've often thought (being a very passionate person) that it would be easy to give my life for a cause I believe in. BUT, it's living for that same cause that proves hard. Dying for something is relatively quick. (I am not downplaying the great martyrs of the past) But uttering my own heart that the "daily grind" of living a life for good, to make a lasting impact on this world for God... that is hard. It's 24/7. No breaks. People always watch us, they know if we are messing up, or if we are playing full out. And it's a daily challenge for all of us to live and love like we should. I have been challenged on this topic time and time again. By Mentors that have passed on, and at the end of their life left a great legacy and example behind them. 

Also challenged by the untimely deaths of young friends. The first time I lost a friend I was 12. And a 13-year-old boy from Church, was killed by a drunk driver. It was tragic. A life over before it had hardly begun. I always hoped that in his death, some of his family would come to know God, then maybe his death wouldn't have been for naught. Then a friend who was in our wedding was shot to death, the Police assume a burglary gone wrong. The third time I lost a friend hit me hard. This time, it was a beautiful young Mom in her early 20s. Killed in a car accident. She had an almost 2-year-old son, the same age as my son. It made me think of what I might happen to my two kids, if I were to die so young? Then, last week I lost a dear work friend. She was one of the sweetest people you could ever meet. One of those people that filled a room with her smile and laughter. You couldn't dislike her even if you tried!  A life so full of joy, and "everything fun". She was endlessly optimistic, even till the end. And obviously, I have had older friends and family pass on. Grandparents, Uncles, ect. 

So what do we do? How do we live a life we WANT to be remembered? I thought about it constantly at this last funeral. "What would people have to say about me"? Would it be good? Would it be good "enough"? Am I living right now, today in a way that if I died that my friends and family would have no reason to doubt my love, loyalty, and affection? Have I treated them well? Or would they remember harsh words? Would they wish we were closer? 

I have a habit of holding people at arm's length. I know this. It's hard for me to be vulnerable and truly open with people. Not because I don't care. Quite the opposite. I am a bit of an empath. And when I care, I care SO. DEEP. I feel what you feel. It keeps me up at night. The thoughts, the love, the worry. I wish the best for you. Pray for you all the time. So it is hard to have a lot of people in that inner circle, ask another empath and they will say the same thing. And it's also because I've been hurt before. By people I let into that inner circle. So I have the tendency to take years to build deep friendships. I just don't "trust quickly". But holding back, even emotions is not living life to the fullest. It cheats those I love of know how much they mean to me. I don't want that. So what do I want? What do YOU want to be said about you? What kind of impact do you want to have in this world?

I want to be missed. Not because it will matter to me once I'm gone. But because it will mean I had a positive impact on someone's life. That's what I want. I want people to say that they could always count on me. That my life encouraged them or helped them in some way. That I showed love. Showed them God's love!

I want my children to know that I loved them. Endlessly loved them! That they gave me a million reasons to smile each day! That God created them perfectly. That He has amazing things for their lives... and there isn't anything they can't do. And that the greatest job I ever had, was being their Mom. Someone else might do a better “job” raising them. But no one could ever love them as fiercely! 

I hope that my husband knows I was the lucky one. Nick has always been my rock. The steady one. Truly, my better half. My best friend. I hope he knows that this life we created together, was better than I ever hoped it would be!

But all that, whereas heartfelt, is just "words". 

BUT....I still have today! So while I have today I will show love. I’ll be more open with others. I’ll give more. I'll give one more hug. Steal one more kiss. Send one more text. Make one more phone call. Because love isn't some grand gesture as much as it the small things we DO every day!

So. What will YOU do?
