Subject: I have so much time til class....
So..yesterday before classes, I was reading my book, as I was almost done with it.
The main character's friend died. This guy was like his brother...and he died, despite the main character's attempts to save him.

And I started bawling, and couldn't stop. I realized how scared of death I really am. I mean, I'm so scared of losing the people around me that I would rather die first so I wouldn't have to go through losing them...It's bad.

I'm not scared of dying, myself, I'm just scared of living without the people that I feel I need. I mean...Shawn died, and maybe it was the circumstances of his death that made it all the worse...but that was, no HAS been soooo hard for me, and it's been almost 2 years (somehow). And every day, I still think about him, wonder what could have been...and miss him like hell..

And I barely knew him.


What's going to happen when I lose someone that knows me inside and out, when I lose one of the people I turn to when I can't handle life by myself anymore?

I don't want to know.......I know that death is a fact of life, ironically, but the feelings afterward...the wondering where they are now, and the feeling that you never told them everything you should have...that shouldn't be a fact of life, because...I can't deal with that.

Maybe I'm just weak.

Maybe I just love my friends too much...

try not to think of death as a loss, but looking back on their life and thinking how great it was...
how great it was to have them in your life at all and feel lucky. don't think of what could've been, think of what was. celebrate life, don't fear death.

anyways, if I do say so myself, that is a good way of thinking about it.

Thanks, kid.
