Things on my mind...
Hi everyone.
It has been a few months since I last posted. I just wanted to say that I now realize the impact one has on others lives. When I kept thinking about Suicide I wasnt thinking at all. On my 21st birthday a 15 year old boy Travis Deforest from American was killed by a train. This struck a particular chord with me, one, I now was sad and each time I will have my birthday, or drive across the railroad tracks or even hear the train horn I will remember the pain I know his friends and family must be suffering. I mean the kid was only 15 years old, and had his whole life in front of him. I really wish he would have thought of the dangers he put himself into by jumping on and off of trains that day. He didnt have a clue that his short life was to end and that he would leave so many people shocked and saddened by his passing. I hardly knew him, But I really feel for his parents. It really made me mad because that day before they had covered his body, I was driving home and I was going on Dusterberry and Thornton when there was a train just stopped there. I thought it was very weird, so I went on Central Blvd. and went to Fremont blvd. to get home that way. I saw an ambulance by the train station and then I saw the uncovered by of Travis. I did not even know he was hit by the train, or who he was. I thought it was just someone that may have either slipped or fell or had a heart attack. I found out on channel 7 news at 11pm that it was only a 15 year old boy. What also made me mad, was only a week earlier I was driving home and passing American high, when the traffic was stopped where I was to turn onto Gibralter the side street. I then see why it was soo jammed up. There was a kid from American who was hit by another kid from American, because the boy was Jay walking against the light. Now, I had seen this many times before, either students crossing illegally or cars with either stupid drivers too dumb to wait for the kids to cross, or kids themselves driving from American run the red light. When I got home I cryed. See things in this world are very unpredicable. I may die at anytime. But I would like people to know not to worry about me. I would want them to live the best life they can before their life too will end. I love everyone I have come in contact with and I wish them well, should my time come early. Well sorry for the sad post. I seem to be known for negativity. TTYL.
