as most of you know, a sophmore girl from heritage high school passed away last night. she was running for cross country and got hit by a car. i'm sure it's all over the news right about now and all in the newspapers. it's true that people die everyday... but it's not everyday that it hits this close to home. although i didn't know her, i heard she was one of the purest and sweetest people you will ever come across.
it truely makes me sick seeing people's journals complaining about their lives. i've seen multiple journals talking about how they wish that they had this and that... how they hate their lives... how no one likes them... this honestly pisses me off. stop being so self-centered.
i don't know about anyone else, but i know that i am going to go to school with a good head on my shoulders. you NEVER know when someone you know could be taken away from you. this morning, i went to heritage because everyone was meeting up there because of aubrae... i've never seen so many tears in my life. someone said that this is going to bring everyone closer... seriously y'all, this could have been any of us.
before you get mad at a friend because of something stupid or before you wish you were dead or before you cuss out someone for running into you in the hallway or before any negative thing comes out of your mouth, ask yourself, "what if something happened to this person tomorrow?" keep aubrae's family in your prayers.
RIP Aubrae Gunderson
December 1989-September 26, 2005.
have a good night. ♥
this is something charlie had in his journal that pretty much sums up what i wanted to say, but a whole lot better...
"If we get anything out of this let it be that we arent promised anything. make things right with the people you live with, because we certianly dont get a two week notice. live like youre ready to go. treat those you dont know with respect, and for Aubrae's sake let the people you love know how precious you are to them. i think maybe thats the legacy we should be left with."
i love all of my friends, my family, my boyfriend, and anyone who means anything at all to me... and that's a lot of people. ♥
