I remember the call. The call that killed my childlike innocent view of life. I battled with the thought of death for the first time. If I died tomorrow, would that be okay? Who would be the last person I speak to if I died? Who did I want to tell that I loved them? What would be the last thing I would do?  I still don't know the answers to these questions. Maybe I never will. Maybe I'll never become comfortable with the idea of death. Maybe I'll stare at a world I no longer recognize, still scared of death. I don't know who I am anymore, but maybe I never will. Maybe, that's okay.
