There had been times where the thought had crossed my mind. But it never crossed my mind in a serious sort of way. Oh yeah, I might die. Sort of like saying, Oh I need to get some cans of corn for the pantry. It was a statement no different from any other and it didn&#039;t have that weight to it. I&#039;d think it....but I wouldn&#039;t believe it. But as I laid there all alone, the flames crackling nearby, the heat of the flame and the weight of the beam almost overwhelming....I believed it.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> I think I did okay. I was scared but I stayed calm. Said a lot of things to Rina, but they really all boiled down to letting her know how much I loved her. When she came back to get me out, I was infuriated that she was risking herself to save me....but I was secretly relieved as well. I&#039;m not ready to die now...if ever.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> So you would think I&#039;d try and take less risks. But that&#039;s not the right lesson to be learned. The lesson is simple:&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Life is short and can fall from you at any time - make the most of it&#039;&#039;&#039;.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> So I plan to make sure I live every moment going forward like it might be my last. Because you never know.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> It might be.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> <br /> ----<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Go to&#039;&#039;&#039; [[Joshua Drake | &#039;&#039;&#039;Joshua&#039;s Crew Page&#039;&#039;&#039;]]&lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Go to [[CREW]]&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;[[Mutineers Timeline|TIMELINE]]&#039;&#039;&#039; &lt;br&gt;<br /> &#039;&#039;&#039;Go to [[Mutineers]]&#039;&#039;&#039;</div>
