Yesterday was an interesting day. It's funny how getting bad news tends to launch us... or at least me... into a preoccupied state where we fluctuate back and forth between fixating and almost forgetting, if that makes any sense.
I found out last night that a friend of mine from university passed away yesterday. I hadn't really seen her since she graduated, but news like that still hits me hard. I think it comes down to the fact that I view friendship as being a permanent thing. In my mind, it doesn't matter how long I go without talking to someone or seeing them... friendship doesn't fade. I will always remember her positive attitude, even in the face of illness. She was one of those people who could always make me laugh, often without even saying anything... she just kind of radiated humour, along with compassion, kindness, and empathy.
It makes me want to get mad at the world sometimes, the way it just keeps going on. A life has ended, but the dog still needs to be walked, the cats still need to be fed, and morons will still race down my street in ugly pickup trucks blasting rap music. Maybe it's a mixed blessing, I don't know.
I'm not even worried about making sense today. I guess this is just a way to put some thoughts out there without really having to talk to anyone.
But the world goes on... I mentioned the dog earlier and right now, he's about to start chewing through the bars of the kennel so it's time for a little trip outside.
God bless.
