    Quoting DickTastee:
    thanks for sharing this.

    i agree; this is lovely... but many do not realize it's a truncated version of the original piece... the image is missing this middle section:

    I could be walking down the street one day, blasting Rihanna or Fleetwood Mac, jamming so hard that I don’t see the bus coming. I could be walking with a book in my hand, reading until the very end. I could be paying total and complete attention, imagine the impact before it arrives.

    And I’d really, really rather not die with some confusing statement I said sitting in the phone or the thoughts or the memory of someone I know, care about, need.

    I know how it is—we all want to be mysterious. None of us want to get hurt. None of us want to look desperate. So we wait to respond to texts, phone calls, emails, Facebook messages, Tweets. So we communicate our emotions in how we end our messages (no period this time? Really gonna get them.). So we say vague, half-statements and expect people to read our minds.

    But what if we died?

    What if the last thing you ever texted that girl was, “I don’t know, whenever,” when she asked when she should come over, even though you really really wanted to see her right now? What if you were head-over-heels in lust with some beautiful human in your Lit. class but you chose to wait 15 seconds before texting them back, only to never get the chance to text them at all?


    and then the original complete version ends with this:

    (So go text them back.)

    so, the original piece is specifically about the regret expressed over incomplete or careless or poorly phrased texts and unreturned messages, whereas the truncated version, which is widely seen on the internet, has been edited to be more about the ephemeral nature of time and space, the uncertainty of our future and the everlasting regret we all feel over unexpressed thoughts, particularly as related to love and loss.

    those are all thoughts that are in the original - more or less - but the edited version slightly manipulates the author's original intent and premise.
I see what you mean. I found my version while browsing the net. Thanks for sharing the entire piece with us.😊

I absolutely love this piece.
