A's blog: "This is who I am."

You know, it's truly amazing how losing a friend or family member can completely change your entire perspective. As a people, we're constantly complaining about trivial matters and thing of little to no consequence. We all walk around with some kind of chip on our shoulder and we never take a single second to pause and ask how someone is doing and how things are in their life. Today, I lost a friend. A very dear friend. We were in high school together and though we'd lost touch since graduation, the bond was always there. We were in a very small class, there were only 73 of us, and we all knew one another rather well whether we wanted to or not. He was a great person, and he'll be in our hearts and prayers always. It's times like these when I hate living so far away from home and the family of friends I have there. Zack Hastings was a part of that family of friends, and now he's gone. Everything happens so suddenly, and as I said before, losing someone puts things into perspective.

In closing, I would just like to say, reunite with an old friend. Put the past behind you. Let go of that grudge you may not even realize you've been keeping and tell that person you do care. Life slips by us too quickly to hold on to grudges. So what if they stole your boyfriend/girlfriend, who cares if they lied to you or about you, it's over and done with now. Just let it go.
