Ups and Downs
The past few days have made me think about life more than ever. Especially how one minor event can make you incredibly happy or excited, and how something huge can bring you back to earth with a bang…
Apart from the usual drunkenness and work that I’m doing (work being secondary in the list, hehe =P ) I found out that I’m eligible to do the Erasmus placement scheme next year, so I’ll be off to France for my second year, as well as my third!!
I was on top of the world when this happened, and then I found out that my best friends’ dad had passed away a few days ago.
I went from being on cloud 9 to being back on earth with my jaw on the floor.
It sounds so cliché to say that he was a good man, but he really was. There were times that the family would much rather forget, but he had his second chance, and he was making his life, and the lives of others, so much better.
Of course, I cannot compare to the grief that my friend and her family must be going through, and we all know that time, along with life, moves on.
Other things have happened, like a whole month without junk food, but they all seem so weak in comparison with this.
I hope that I can go to his funeral, even if it means missing some lectures.
RIP Mr. M… you shall be missed
I don’t know if heaven exists, or what exactly the afterlife holds if there is one. Maybe a serene landscape awaits us…
