Fragility of life

It's amazing how something so beautiful can be lost so quickly. We are not invincible anymore nor are we immortal. 

Do you still remember the time when we thought that we could live forever? Well we don't. I think this simple fact of life has finally hit home for many of us.  

I remember seeing countless photos of and articles teens dieing or getting seriously injured in crashes or brawls year after year to the point I became desensitized. It could never happen to me or anyone I know I thought. However, when it actually happens to one of us it is like the world has turned its eye on us, waiting for us to react. It is as if all the human emotions of love, hate, anger, confusion and fear are blended into one potent cocktail and downed in one gulp. 

18 years of joy, pain, memories, hopes and dreams can be instantly wiped into oblivion by a car accident or random act of violence. It is truly tragic beyond comprehension. 

Seriously buddy, I will be praying for you to make a full and speedy recovery. I remember being in awe when spotting for you while you benched 80kg, but now it is the time for you to show us how strong you really are. It never should have happened but all we can do now is hope for the best. 

Take care of yourselves everyone, treasure everything that is truly important and good luck for the exams! 

p.s Lol at Avila ;)
