Ever notice how some of the most devastating, life-altering days start off like any other? You wake up thinking about what you have to do that day. What you're going to wear. How you're going to pay your bills.

You go about your day, knocking things off your to-do list. You go to school. To work. Hang out with friends. Flirt with that guy you've been crushing on. Contemplate going on a diet.

You don't wake up thinking: I could die today.

At least I didn't.

I certainly never thought that I'd already met my executioner.
