sometimes when i read a book or watch a movie or see something happen in the world
and someone dies
i think about how they had an entire life before that moment
how they also were born
that they had parents who probably loved them
that they went to a school with friends who probably liked them
that they went to university probably with dreams of the future
and all of that
built up to this one
tragic
incident.

brings it a lot closer to home for me than a lot of the other things people will say regarding this

i think this can be twisted in some way to become a story of how you should constantly live in the moment
that you shouldnt keep looking on into the future or back into the past when you have the present right there for you
because every day could be your last

but this message gets preached so much and
i dont know if anyone bothers to listen anymore
i dont even think i do

just a short one. longer one coming soon, for some definition of soon. i have it in the works,
but just wanted to share this
