Like a leaf

Life is the most important thing to people even if it isn't their own because just the loss of some one you love can hurt more than a bullet hitting your shoulder. We blame ourselves emotionally by saying things like "What could i have done differently" and "Why them and not me". So I will tell you why because, in my opinion, life is like a leaf. It starts with a stem/birth and as you grow you are given options which break off and lead to other options. Each one can alter your life even by a little bit and some decision can send you to a different path which changes how long you may live and when some else's decision kills you. Its like a caterpillar taking a bite out of a leaf ending your life.
