This is a bit serious, but since I don't want to rant about it elsewhere ill just do it here. A good college friend of mine passed away yesterday. It's really bothering me even though I haven't spoken to her since 2013, but I remember I did wardrobe for the play she was in. It was her first play so she had a smaller role so she'd come down and keep me company. We'd talk about everything. We'd listen to music and just wild out in the empty dressing room together: dancing, singing (she had an amazing voice) or whatever. Moreover, she was just so incredibly articulate and intelligent. Just the perfect person to bounce philosophical ideas off of no matter how crazy they seem.
Before she died, she was having seizures. She went away to teach in Thailand to little kids. It just breaks my heart that she passed so young and it just really seems unfair. I also feel terrible that i'm the worse at staying in contact with people and that i have short emotional moments like these with people. I love them so much when i'm in the moment and like when they aren't with me i just assume everything is okay. Even though i mean to check up on them, i just keep forgetting to.
Anyways, what I'm really trying to say is, and i suppose it's cliche and obvious, but really cherish people and keep up with them. Don't wait until they've passed to be the last time you see them.
