Life's what you make it

Sometimes you stumble upon things by accident, but they turn out to be greater than what you were looking for.

Tonight (or rather, last night) I was googling in search of a private chat widget I could use to chat with the new co-webs for Jonas Fever. Not everyone has msn, or aim, and I thought maybe a private chat thing might be our best bet.

So I go onto this website (which I honestly can't remember the name of without having to re-google what I had before) and right away these small windows pop-up of people trying to talk to me. I know that sounds way creepy, but don't worry, I didn't actually answer any of them. I wasn't looking for some random to talk to, I was looking for a place where myself and the co-webs could chat. Right away I knew this website wouldn't work for the fact that it was crawling with eager creepers wanting to get to know you better.

But this one window pops up and instead of the person saying "hey, m/19/usa" this guy says something extremely vulgar. Normally, people would get offended and tell this guy off or maybe just ignore him, but since when am I normal, right?
So he says something that I can't remember exactly (and is too weird for me to type out anyways) and I gave a simple response of something along the lines of "you know, i don't really do that" or something. so he went on to say something about making millions from this invention or business or whatever and I went along with it.
Afterwards he puts like "hahaha, thanks for playing along. usually i just get death threats or something"
For some reason, I wasn't offended. I have no idea why, but I was just curious, I guess. I asked him if he starts all his conversations like that, if he goes on the chat often, what types of responses he usually gets and so on. He told me he used to just start talking normally but that was just really boring so he does it just to get reactions out of people and the reactions are usually really funny and absurd.

Long story short, I ended up talking to this guy for nearly 3 hours. Again, I know how incredibly creepy that sounds, but I'm safe on the internet. I didn't give my age, my location, or my real name.
But all perverted comments aside, this guy was extremely deep. Again, going to sound creepy, he's 27. He told me how he was married and his wife died and stuff. I don't know how much was made up or not, but I don't really care. Basically he said he put his life into perspective and how he now lives his life entirely different than how he had before. I didn't tell him my age, but I'm assuming he thought I was in my early twenties because I mentioned how talking to someone in their 40's would be creepy because they'd be like double my age.

I honestly felt like I had went and talked to a shrink, or a psychologist, or something. I'm so enlightened and encouraged!

I want to take from him what he told me and tell you - Live in the now. The future doesn't really exist because once it comes, it's 'the now'. Appreciate the people in your life because you really have no idea how much time you do have with them. Tell people how you feel and live your life without letting anyone hold you back. It's your life and you only get to live it once so you might as well live to your full potential. Sex and love are two very different things and you don't necessarily get one out the other. Dream and dream big. Lastly, you can not fully live your life until you find out who you are.

I really wish I could have saved the conversation, but I didn't think of it at the time and the chat doesn't allow to scroll, so the words you had once said just disappear. sort of what we'd talked about; how the past is the past and you can never fully bring it back.

Oh, and I promised I'd watch Star wars episodes 4, 5, & 6 if he'd watch The Notebook & A Walk To Remember (honestly, what person has never heard of those books/movies or even heard of Nicholas Sparks?! He said the same thing to me when I said I'd never watched any Star Wars movies, though.)
