i read an article today on cnn about people dying due to the having the flu. healthy , young people..with seemingly no reason. the line the caught my eyes was a quote from a 15 year old boy that was hospitalized. the last thing he said to his mother was “mom, don’t cry”. a few hours ago, i got a message on facebook from one of my best friends in highschool. it wasn’t from her account, so i have no way to get in touch with her again. she told me that a friend of ours died over the weekend from complications from the flu. she was supposed to get married this summer.
i’m very unsettled. it has me wondering what im doing -spending time in a job i don’t love and far away from the people i do…in a place i don’t love and have almost grown to hate. i don’t know… i just im just a jumble of reflection today..
