Hey, Miss J!

Life is a funny thing, you know?

But not in the “haha” kind of way. Sometimes I look at the sheer amount of things I can and have been able to experience — and I’m glad.

Then I think about things I WANT to do… and I feel sad.

There always seems to be so much to do, but so little time.

I’m still coming to terms with the loss of one of my close friends. I could never understand all she had experienced because she was so much older than me.

We would talk… somewhat infrequently, but I’m so happy for the time I had — the chance to speak with her.

To have a friendship, even if brief.

But it brings forth a painful realization.

We are all like small flames on the wick of a candle…

… How easy it is for us to be snuffed out.

Then – nothing remains.

Except memories.

But those are only remembered by ones who were there… soon to be lost in time as well.

Apologies if this is upsetting, but I’m not in the best of moods right now…
