Life’s such a conundrum.  I just hate how sad it can be! I guess I should feel thankful I can see it as sad because it means there’s another end of the spectrum. Is that end worth the inevitable arrival of the other end? Like dogs, they die so soon. Sometimes they die really soon. It’s just so sad seeing, like, a 5-year-old dog die. And then there are people. It’s just so sad seeing people write about their family members who passed away, either expectedly or unexpectedly. I feel so horrible for people who lose family members in car accidents. Life is so normal, and then in an instant, it’s over for someone. Their family is left with nothing but memories and unfulfilled dreams. I hate seeing someone pass away right before or right after retirement. Work these days isn’t usually backbreaking, but it’s not exactly enriching most of the time. To spend your whole life waiting for that time and then poof. To see someone lose their spouse they had all these plans with. To see photos of them happy together, knowing they’ll never get to experience that again is making me tear up as I write this. Life just isn’t fair. Sometimes in annoying ways, but other times in such a cruel fashion. It’s horrendous to think about. And yet, that’s just life. We just have to go on, just as everyone before us had.
