Nervous Wreck (nervewrecker.multiply.com)

Dear me, it has been a long, long lapse of silence here. Silence is deafening huh. But no news also means good news right? Sadly no. Barely a month into the new year, one of my ex-classmates passed away. We don't really know the real cause, but it had something to do with a deadly and rare viral attack on her brains. I saw her for the last time at the hospital and I can't imagine this was how she would be. Makes me think how I will die one day. I just can't help but feel morbid all along the way. That night, she slipped away, never regaining consciousness since lapsing into coma a week before that. I had such a hard time sleeping that night, and the few nights after that. It was not something that you can accept easily, especially when it is a young woman who had the future waiting for her. Why do people who commit all the imaginable (and unimaginable) crimes still walk this earth, and people who deserve to live taken away.. I can never answer this question, and it remains a why. And will always be.

So my friends, strangers, goodfellows, have mercy on others and love yourself, love others. Never be rude, and always treat everyone with respect.
