I postpone death by living,
I escape loss by risking.
By loving and forgiving,
I maintain.
I learn by suffering,
By my errors and faults.
I’m stronger after failing,
I exalt.
I live for laughter
And late nights.
I’m thinking of this life, not whatever’s after.
Because I’m young, and that’s all that’s in sight.
Everyone dies, but not everyone gets a chance to live.
I’m happy to say I did.

&quot;You know you&rsquo;re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is &ndash; wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you&rsquo;re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself.&quot;
