None Of Us Live Forever

       Have you ever experienced a death of a close friend at a relatively young age? Has it affected you later on in life with other deaths you have heard about regardless of how close you are with the person? Have you wondered if they were in pain before passing away or if it was relatively painless?

       I had a few friends pass away over the years, and ever since any death that was relatively close to my age has hit me like a ton of bricks, nearly every time. It's terrifying that someone can die at such a young age. It's terrifying that it can happen to literally anyone. It's terrifying how you can talk to them one day and then the next they're no longer here.

       I think that the biggest realization I have made throughout college has been just how fragile a life actually is.
      Moral of the story, I guess, is making sure you let your loved ones know that you love them, because you never know when they will be gone.
