And as much as I’d love to go around to every fool on this planet and open their eyes to the mountains that surround them in life, I can’t. But maybe if I shout from mine they’ll pay attention.
The words of Donal Walsh who passed away yesterday at the age of 16.
If you need some inspiration today (or anyday), have a read of today’s piece about his short life in the Indo, or just watch a brief video on his battle with cancer here, or about his recording a video to try and reach out to suicidal teens and watch him discuss it with Brendan O’Connor on the Saturday Night Show, as he says:
If I’m meant to be a symbol for people to appreciate life, then I’ll be happy to die.
