My friend died last week. I didn't know him as well as everyone else but I don't really know anyone as well as anyone else. He was the first of my contemporaries to go. It feels like it's just the start and more will follow inevitably. Now I feel I should review the way I live my life because when something like this happens it makes you realise your own mortality. I'm not sure exactly what I want to say here but just had to get some words out. I've noticed myself becoming more, I don't know, maybe aware or alive. I went to see some one I work with at her other job whom I hardly know but I did it without thinking, normally that's something I wouldn't do at all or worry about going and then bottle it when I get there. It doesn't sound like much but for me it's quite a big deal. I've made friends with some people at work and we've been out a few times, being able to connect to other people is more important than I thought it was.
So, I think a concerted effort is required on my side to just, be and to have an impact on other people hopefully in a positive way.
This took quite along time to write but it's not edited just as is when I've come back to add more thoughts
Rest in Peace George, I miss you, we all do.
