healthy fear

Went to a wake to support a hurting friend and of course many thoughts were left on my mind.

I've never experienced the loss of someone that I was close with so I just don't know how to act in these situations. I do, however, know that I care for my friend so I went. The shared tears and hugs made up for the consoling words I lacked, and so I'm


happy I went.
Facing our mortality definitely takes you for an emotional/mental spin. Remember, the only thing that's 100%guaranteed in life is death. Scary ish.

*I couldn't help but thinking of the day mortality decides to swing by for a visit. Would I be able to cope with the loss rather normally? Or what if I loose the will to live as I've seen people do? Idk man, the permanent absence of a few people that come to mind would drastically change my life and outlook on it. I wonder how.

As mortal beings, a dangerous way to live life is as if it is never ending. We go to sleep angry, leave uncompleted tasks, withhold... emotions... thoughts... words, hoping to get the opportunity to do them when you wake the next morning. Forgetful that eternal life is not ours to live and uncertain of what the afterlife brings. *deep breath*

I fear death for those reasons exact. Leaving loved ones in mourning or having to mourn. Not being able to complete the assignment, and taking with me those emotions, thoughts and words meant for sharing. This healthy fear of death, however, allows me to hone in on the very things that matter to me.

So live life fully and morally friends. Don't be selfish with those meaningful thoughts, words...emotions. Do what you intended to do in good faith. LAUGH. You are as happy as you let yourself be.

*Pura Vida Mae!
