c'est la vie
today was really sad.
a boy died last night who went to my school. he had an anurism... during an indoor soccer match. the entire student body was depressed today. i cannot comprehend how unfair it is to take life away from someone so young and destined for great things. i just... i dont know. i dont know what to say to those who are crying because i didnt know okechi, and ive never lost one of my friends. the soccer coach was choking on his tears as he tried to tell us that a player died last night at the game. i cannot understand how people cope with this kind of thing. he was so young. so prosperous. i guess you gotta live by the saying, "c'est la vie" because any day could be your last. live life to the fullest. i know, from those that knew okechi, that he lived his life as a superb athelete and great person. he lived to the fullest. but sometimes we are destined for other things... i guess this kinna event makes me and others question the existance of God and religious things. i'm egnostic, but i just feel as though i would be more at peace sometimes if i believed in some intricate system of beliefs that ensure happiness beyond the world that we know. if you really analyze religion, it is sometimes the only thing that helps people through the toughest times like these.
i dont usually pray, but today i prayed. i prayed for okechi's family. and okechi's friends. and for the spirit of okechi. may he rest in peace.
i had to recite a poem today in CLUE for a grade, but after a girl who knew okechi said her poem right before me, which was written about him, i kind of had a mind block. i couldnt say my poem right after what the girl had juss said. i forgot the first line of my poem because i was pensive. kitts reminded me of the first line after checking to see if i was alright. i was really shaken. things like this impact everyone. i didnt even know okechi, but i share the pain that all feel for a lost one.
i feel so generic writing "RIP" and saying im sorry for everyone who lost him, but sometimes thats all i can express with words.
omairs friend died a month or two ago. i didnt know him. but i... i juss... i dont know. that entire concept of life being snatched from those who havent yet begun to live life and experience its bounties... it just really shakes me up. theres nothing i can say to omair about his friend because i juss cant possibly understand what people go through when they lose someone.
i know death shouldnt be feared, but sometimes it take us by surprise. but all we have to believe is that something wonderful is waiting for us after this life is over, and we are all at peace.
goodbye okechi.
