Today I found out that a person I knew died. He was found washed onto the shores, dead. When I found out it just kind of struck me hard. I never actually talked to him much, I just remember growing up with him sort of in the distance. Its a small school, and of course a middle schooler looked up to the older students and he was always one of the popular boys. He was always so carefree and all that kind of stuff. Then to find out that a person like him was found dead, it just sort of scares me. It could be anyone, it could even be me; to actually know someone who was fairly young, he was in his mid twenties, its just sort of scary.

It just shows how one moment you could be having the time of your life, the next moment you could be you know. Sigh, it made me think of how I'm living my life now, how easily it would be to just leave this world one day, and how the memories that others shared with me lingers on. What would people think of me if I were to die tomorrow? Sort of makes me want to change my life and apologize to people who probably don't deserve it, and all that kind of stuff...

It just makes you think doesn't it?

Wow, that really sucks. I've never experienced anything like that, so I can't relate to you in that manner, but I know how it's like to have something horrible to happen to someone who doesn't deserve it when they're close, so, yeah.
