This is one of those videos that stays with you long after you watch it. Amanda was your typical young lady with a job and a unique personality who started using Twitter about 4 years ago. Shannon McKarney was inspired by Amanda's simple yet profound tweets. She used the Twitter handle @TrappedAtMyDesk. Watch as this video documents some of Amanda's thoughts and feelings as she discovers she's sick and decides to make the most out of the time she has left. As sad as this all sounds, Amanda teaches us to not take our time for granted and, most importantly, "Don't spend time being angry at people. Forgive them. Life is entirely too short."
