Late Nite Thoughts: Death

My friend’s brother just died. Jumped from the 15 floor of an apartment in a drug induced fit according to some, because he was possessed according to others, or just because he was depressed according to the people on the outside. Why he did it doesn’t matter. He’s still dead. Nothing can change that. The saddest thing about it is that he still had so much to live for. He was only 18.

I was never really close with my friend or his brother, but knowing someone you know and saw almost everyday at school just vanish, never to return again, is terrifying. I can’t imagine what it’s like for his family.

Seeing death up close makes you think. Life goes by so fast. So much so that we take the little things that can mean so much for granted. I regret not knowing him better.

Ever since I found out I couldn’t help but look at myself and the life I’m living. The choices I made, then relationships I’ve formed, what will happen when I die? Did I live life to the fullest? Will I regret anything? I can only hope.

Last night a friend’s world was changed forever. I can only sympathize and offer my condolences and words of comfort.. Unfortunately life goes on, and all we can do is persevere through the darkest moments and go forward, till we reach light.

Rest In Peace.
