Death

Death is such a frightening concept. You think about someone being there, and then... all of a sudden... they're not.

I guess everything that has a beginning must have an end, and usually we return to where we came from. We came from the Earth, thus we return back to it. (Or if you're religious, like I am, you could say we return to God, our creator)

But death. It just comes unexpectedly. I have a few theories to do with death, but how accurate are they? They are of no relevance anyway.

Look after yourself. Be healthy. Be careful in what you do. Most of all, be good. Be remembered for something.

On Friday came the horrible news of a girl in our year and her passing. Obviously because it had been a Friday night, I found out from Facebook which isn't the best way to find out realistically. The week before, my grandfather passed away too. He was 96. She was 16. 3 months shy of 17. His was expected, hers wasn't. They were both very ill. Now while I'm sad about my grandfather because the last time I saw him was 2007, and because he is family, I think I'm more upset about her.

Like I mentioned, she was ill. She was born with a severe condition called cystic fibrosis (look it up). She'd always been in hospital most of the time, and now recently.

While we didn't have many good moments in the past couple of years, just listening to Amelia by Tonight Alive, and looking at photos and statuses just wants to bring me to tears.

Also, while I thought back then, that she'd eventually not be relevant to me, here I am writing nearly a whole blog post about her. I never really liked her, but I realised she was a good person. Also out of all those not so good moments, there has to be a good one in there somewhere right?

I also guess that when it's somebody's time to go, it's their time to go. But why does life have to take away the good ones, but I guess only the good die young.

I actually wish she was still here at school taunting me for whatever, rather than gone.

She was really strong, and while we may not have been the closest of friends or even friends at all, I miss her. She'll be safe up there in heaven, and with no pain, I'm sure.
