so two amazing people that i was close to died on tuesday in a 50-car pileup...
i don't really know how to feel about anything right now. i mean, at first it was just like this initial shock, but i just speant time alone in my room crying.
they were great people and had two young girls. what about them?
and the strange thing is we started reading "macbeth" by shakespeare today and our teacher warned us that it's a bad luck play. she said a lot of things happen every year when she starts reading it. she told us all to be careful driving. and then i came home and heard this, and that was the first thing that came to mind. it's just ironic.
my best friend lives hours away and she's coming here on saturday. i was in such high spirits to see her, but now it's just not a good time. but then again, i think this is a good time to have a shoulder to cry on. i need her.
i don't expect anyone to reply. i just...if you can help, if you've been through something like this and can just help me in any way to deal with this then please do.
don't take the ones you love for granted. they can be gone without warning. and you can be left with every word that went unsaid.

...hope youre okay *hugs*
I'm really sorry for your loss.
"When looking up there, I just felt whole, like I belonged. Like one day I too would shine my most brilliant. Sitting there also made me think about sitting through services at my little country church back home. About that never-changing congregation of the same sixty-seven people and everyone has known you since before you were born. Now, out here in the real world, everything just seemed more vivid than when I used to sit in that little pew. That pew that was now so, so far away from where I was. I feared I had somehow left God behind there, too. I feared he was somehow just sitting there, saving my seat on the fifth pew from the front row, just waiting on me to come back. I left so quickly, I worried that he may not have noticed I was gone. And, now, I’m just too far away to find. So he’s just sitting there, patiently waiting on me to come back. I closed my eyes and prayed a moment. I hoped more than anything that he could still hear me." -an excerpt from my novella, A Sea of Fallen Leaves.
