    Okay so last Monday there was a funeral for an old school friend.

    No-on really spoke to him, he stuck to himself mostly but I used to talk to him a bit.
    Mostly during P.E.

    Obviously he died recently and all my old school friends took it pretty hard.
    17.
    I guess it made us all think about how short life can be.

    So my point of this

    An old school... acquaintance just started speaking to me.
    It was only the other month when he tried to cause me grief over being gay.
    It didn't bother me of course.
    And his plans turned sour as his friends genuinely didn't care i was and started talking to me about it.


    But now he just asked me if i'm really going out with 'that lad'
    I answered yes:

    Ste

    14:08Michael

    14:08Michael
    lmao
    thank you mr blogg
    14:09Ste
    ya orit its your live n seen as wht happend with josh ya never no when its guna end so might aswell be happy

    He's actually genuine about it.
    And he's being at the very least civil with me.

    It's weird.
    And he does have a point.
    Life is too short to not be happy.
    you never know when it's going to end.

    Nothing like having one of your peers dying to make you realise how life is to be cherished. As horrible as it is that it took a friends passing to make your friend appreciate it, but its good all the same. Don't hold a grudge and try and reconnect with him if he has had a change of heart.

    Having someone you know die usually does this. People start realizing that life is fragile, and we don't have an unlimited time here to do what we want. So people tend to start looking at each other in a new light, and reaching out a bit. It's terrible that it takes something like a death to do this, but it is one of the very few bright spots in such a tragedy.

    I had 4 people within the school system die while I was in high school. two substitute teacher and two students.

    Additionally in my last year of elementary school, grade 6 my grandfather died, in grade 9 my father died, in grade 11 my uncle died, and a little over a year ago my grandmother died.

    so yeah i guess you could say I get what you mean. I've lost too many people.

    cheer up.
    "The body is temporary and fueled by engery, engery the controls our consceince and our heart and how we think and feel; the soul[?], and energy. Energy can not be destroy, only moved and transformed."

    Be happy for them moving on, we greive becuase we miss and fear for them. And we dont know where they are but they are not here in this negative world, chances are the next ones better.

    I like this theory.

    It's a shame it seems to have taken a death to do it, but it sounds like he's done a little growing up. I certainly hope so.
