Non-Indestructible

That’s what we are.

Non-Indestructible. However, as humans, we tend to believe that we can do things that make us invincible. And especially pertaining to that of adolescent young adults, we sometimes strive to try new, almost impossible things that pose as a hazard to our lives without even stopping to weigh out the consequences. Remember, we are mortal. Death is a very dismal, and unfortunately, common & inevitable occurance. It is best to cherish what you have, before its too late.

Although I’ve only met him a few times, Andrew seemed like a really nice guy. Being a year younger than me, Andrew & I never talked during the times we were in elementary & middle school together. However, I’ve heard from friends of his that he was a good-natured, hard working person, and from watching his soccer games, a key goalie. And for such a young person, it was to my disappointment to find out just today that he had passed away on Sunday. It just seemed so unreal that someone I met, and someone who was thirteen days short of turning 18 and three months before his high school graduation, could be gone in half a second. I guess fast driving didn’t stop him from feeling invincible. It’s totally unfair how he got cheated of his life.. very undeserving. I just pray that his parents will be able to heal from the heartbreaking loss of their only child.. now he is in a better place where he can escape a harsh world.

Hello

So I guess this is the birth of yet another online journal.

I prefer to refrain from using the word “blog” because for some reason the word sounds too informal & it reminds me of the Xanga I used to have so very long ago.. which, looking back on it now, was a joke considering that it was the fad in middle school and (for lack of words) had no “nutritional meaning”. You know.. like how a box of those easter marshmellow chicks have no nutritional value. It was just air. But now that I’ve matured (just a little) as a young individual skimming the surface of an intricate adult world, maybe I can finally add a little ‘nutritional’ meaning in my food for thought.

Originally the purpose for this was meant to release any trapped, sometimes irritating, feelings and thoughts imprisoned in the walls of my head.. in case I find there is an itching need for me to set them free, I can type it out on here & perhaps, with a sigh of relief, I can relax a bit. And initially, I had planned to keep this to myself in case I let anything too personal out.. however, if you are reading this right now, you should feel privilidged for me to let you. : P Just excuse my wordy diction and funky syntax, if anything.

I guess there isn’t much for me to say in a beginning entry.. I just hope to continue writing in this so I can have something to read & look back on later.
