last year around this time was the first time I lost someone
My father
Death complicated things
I just didn’t know how I felt about him
But when he died it was clear I loved him
Maybe I didn’t realize because I was angry with him for a while
But when I lost him
It was shocking, the thought of him dying never crossed my mind
I guess, I thought I had a lot of time with him
I cried myself to sleep for two solid days
All the things I should have said kept replaying in my head
Did he know he was loved
I hope he did
Because he was
So I’m trying to do better
Love people better
Cause who knows when time will run out

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."
