At A Loss For Words

Since when was it acceptable to take the life of another? People are here one day and gone the next. I am disgusted at the rate at which black people die from gunshots, drugs and the like. You know what, not even black people. Just people in general. Yes, death is just another part of life, but what if you still have living to do? Goals to accomplish? Everything stops in death :( 


I'm talking about a friend of mine who just died from being shot recently. He was around the same age as me. He worked at Home Depot (last I checked) and was planning to go back to school. I heard some stories.....but I don't think it will matter to me to know the truth. I didn't know him that well. Regardless of that fact, it's still sad to me to see someone like that on his way out of Earth and into Heaven. I thought about him all day....so I foreshadowed this week not going well....at all. 


I just need to find some optimism I suppose. And to hope for the best. A new semester awaits me. Chemistry, Algebra, Psychology and English all await me. I just have to hope for the best. I want to attend the funeral.....I hope this doesn't become another funeral I regret going to..... :( I am trying my best not to be stressed right now. But I guess I'll just deal with it. I'm just sad and tired of black men leaving the earth when they should stay around a little longer. That's all. So that's my blog for the night. I couldn't even think I could find the means to write today, but I'm glad I did at the end of the day.
