The loss of a friend or family member sucks. There is absolutely no other way to put it. Whether it is over a period of time or completely unexpected, it still sucks. The loss of life is one of the more difficult things in life to comprehend, and dealing with that loss is just as hard to understand. No one ever wishes for death in their life, but it is a reality of it. The best one can do when confronted with such a challenge, is to simply survive it. Death brings sadness, confusion, anger, which can severely crippled any human being, but continuing to strive in one’s own life is all that can really be done. Remembrance is a key factor, but not one based on loss but rather one based on appreciation of a life lived. Having someone taken from you can be so traumatic, but letting that loss create an environment of despair is an even greater loss. Moving forward, whether fast or slowly is all one can do.

So I have a couple things on my mind. Yes sometimes I feel like just talking about random things but sometimes it is a good idea to let feelings out. The first thing is spring break is here!! I’m so excited. I don’t get to be at school for two days before because I have to drive to Arizona. That kind of sucks because like I said in a previous blog that it will be with family and sometimes they make me mad. But the end result will be me tanning. I am happy for that. The second thing is that my boyfriend went back to his hometown in Texas for his spring break. I missed him a whole lot. Then he comes back wanting to go to school there. It makes me sad that he does because I don’t know what will happen between us. I do try talking to him but he doesn’t know what he wants to do. When he tells me oh I want to go to Texas I feel really bad. Then he says he might stay here for summer school. I want to forget about it until the time it actually has to be talked about but it is really hard when you see the word “TEXAS” everywhere.
