Amicable Moments (2011)

Written on September 27th, 2011

One of the greatest things I find in my current life is how I'm reconnecting relationships with people who I fell out of contact with in middle and high school.


I'm a freshman in a local college, and I am around my 6th week of the fall semester.
Fall is already here, which is my favorite season. I feel autumn cools down everyone's minds, personalities, and creates a zen-like atmosphere.
It's the perfect time to develop new and friendly relationships with people.

Recently I attended a childhood friend of mine's funeral. He was suppose to go to the same college as me. He was a very popular young man and well loved by everyone. It makes me think, when I finally pass, who will be there to remember and honor me?

Anyways, his passing encouraged me to keep developing relationships with people around me. I think it would be a great way to honor his memory.
I've already made a few acquaintances, and already made friendly relationships with people who seemed to have slipped out of my life as quickly as they reappeared back in college.

I'm happy, and I am loving the freedom of my campus. I love my schedule, and the opportunities that await to be taken advantage of by me.

Even though I do not know what I want to do with my life yet, there is no rush and I have 2 years to find out what I want to make of myself.

My friend's death gave me a reality check about life, and just how sudden everything can change, and at the same time, what good things can occur from the tragedy of it all.
Death shouldn't be feared, nor mourned for too long over.
Death should be embraced because soon everyone is going to end up passing away.
Instead of fearing, it should be accepted and embraced. People should remember to live their lives.

Besides, a flower only blooms once, before it dies next season.
