Clouds - RIP Zach Sobiech

My Last Days - Zach Sobiech 

This documentary is truly amazing. Words cant explain how much Zach touches your heart. In life we often take things for granted, even life itself but for Zach life was cut too short. However, he didn't let Cancer get the better of him, he fought back with grace. In just a few short years Zach accomplished more than some of us ever will, he followed his dreams and he made them happen. 

It's not often that someone touches your life in a way that is invaluable and permanent, but Zach did just this. It is clear that he left footprints on every person he mets heart. Although it may not seem possible I can promise you watching his story and seeing him speak has touched my heart and influenced my life. 

Zach knew how to live life to the fullest every day. We don't often realise how simple happiness can be. And as Zach says, It is simply bringing a smile to someone else's face. 

Zach wanted to be remembered "as a kid who went down fighting and didn't really lose". Zach didn't lose at all. He accomplished more in his life than I could ever hope to in mine and I hope I touch just one persons life the way he touched so many. 

Just one of his legacy's, his song will be on repeat I promise you, it is truly amazing. 

Suddenly my problems do not matter anymore, thank you for all you taught me Zach. 

Can It Last Forever?

Do you ever find yourself in a phrase of your life where everything seems to be going right, so right that it seems too good to be true? I constantly find myself in these phases, although usually it isn't until something shocks me that I realise it simply was too good for too long. 

Things are not meant to be perfect. As Harlan Ellison says "For without pain, there can be no pleasure. Without sadness, there can be no happiness. Without misery there can be no beauty." Or as the talented Passenger says "only need the light when it's burning low, Only miss the sun when it starts to snow, Only know you love her when you let her go, Only know you've been high when you're feeling low, Only hate the road when you’re missin' home."

Although we try to stay away from pain and sadness and live in infinite happiness, it simply is not possible. The most important thing is to remember that you are simply feeling the way you are because out there somewhere, something will show you a feeling that directly contrasts the one you feel now, and that is why it is worth it. 

When i'm down there is one word that can bring me back to life. Believe. Believe in your inner strength, believe in a better world, and believe in the life you are given.
