Death is expected yet unexpected. It creeps up slowly. You never know when it’s coming for you. It feels like a dream, and I’m waiting to wake up. It’s surreal. Maybe it hasn’t hit me yet. But I don’t know how else to handle it. I’m okay…I’m fine. The only things I can say. I’ve never thought this would happen to me. I thought things would get better as I grew up. Yet, they haven’t. I have dealt with so much and, it seems, I’ll remain fighting through one hardship after another. It makes me stronger though. I feel much stronger, and alive, than I have over the last couple of years. I always tell myself, and others, that everything happens for a reason. I’m left with no choice but to accept that it must have happened for some reason. Whatever reason it is, I’m sure it isn’t bad. Why would it be?
Her last words…keep replaying in my head. I won’t ever be able to forget it. “I love you.” And that was it. Three simple words that meant a lot more than anyone could understand. Three words that I have been waiting for so long to hear. Yet, it took this long for me to hear them. I’m glad I finally did. I don’t regret anything. I do look back on it all and realize nothing was my fault. The most painful part though; is seeing her try so many times to just take her final fall down. Life is a strange concept. It’s not one that needs to be understood. For life can hold many different meanings. My motto is to live to prove everyone wrong. I have a couple others, too. But, I don’t think there is a meaning to life. I feel it is better that way. The mystery of life keeps me striving. So, It needs not to be defined.
Where do we go after death? Is it as simple as going to heaven? Or, is that what we are hoping for? I try to picture in my head just falling asleep and never waking up. Do we stay asleep and just dream? I’m not sure. I do feel slightly confident in one theory though, and that is reincarnation. I do believe in it because life begins as quickly as it ends. The hourglass is still emptying for me. It’s something that, unlike in board games, is irreversible. Be grateful for what you have. Appreciate all the mystery there is in what we call, life. Learn how to live. There’s a simple art to it, just as there is in everything. Life is a two sided Kandinsky. Paint it however you desire. I believe the most important thing is to be different. One out of billions. As you cross the bridge out, you must pay the toll. It isn’t free to be born, nor is it free to die.
