Note from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle Finder:
I initially started following the Anchorage MC because I was curious to see what people in such a remote, northern place would write about. As this message shows, in a place where winter has short days and summer has short nights, it may feel as if life is of limited duration too.
Why Is Life So Short?
Why is Life So Short?
Missed Connections in Anchorage, AK
Whatever you think life has to offer, or what you expect,
In the end, what does it matter?
We are born, we live, we age, we die,
To expect an afterlife of paradise or agony is absurd.
Riches are nothing to me,
But when I meet a soul who affects me as greatly as you do,
It doesn’t matter if fortune does not smile my way,
The true fortune, the true gift,
Gazing into your eyes
I just can’t forget.
