such is life

shit happens. terrible things happen to good people and there is no rightful reason. and what are we, the non-afflicted, to do about it? we can be upset with the injustice and we can scream that it is wrong, that they don't deserve it, but who is going to hear us? we can be angry for the anguish that good people suffer, but where do we funnel the anger? we can cry for the unfortunate but who is going to hear? i think, beyond it all, what we need to do is do the best with what we have and what we are given in each day. i can part with somebody and feel good knowing we both genuinely enjoyed the time we shared together, and that the portion of the day shared with them was well spent. and when bad things happen to these good people that we so care for, we let them know that we care. and we should have let them know we cared before anything happened to them. we should always let the people we love know we love them because when it's too late, when something happens, then we feel like horrible people for not allowing ourselves to feel for them fully when we had the opportunity to. then we just seem like assholes who only care at times of crisis. so tell the ones you love that you love them. and show how much you care. and let yourself feel all the time, no matter how hard it is, because it's harder to suffer alone because you have no one to share your feelings with. and that is one of the saddest things ever.
