11.8.11 Death is routine. It is expected. Yet, why are we surprised when it happens to someone we know? Someone we love? Someone we hate? It is something that happens to others. Never us. Sometimes it consumes what we want and what we don’t. But in the end, all that really matters, is how we are remembered. Will I make an impact? Or will I drown in an ecclectic mixture of the various drugs I cannot seem to stay away from. Will my family have to live with the fact that their only daughter was so masochistic and selfish that she had no regard for anyone but herself? No, that can’t happen to me. I must be referring to someone else.
