Lucky

The reason I started a blog however long ago was because I felt I had things I wanted to say. And putting pen to paper (technically speaking) was the best way to say it. Only, I got lazy and none of these thoughts came to fruition. I will try to write more, and hopefully what I write is not stupid.

Anyways, it is fairly late where I can feel the fatigue. Sitting here I noticed a few things while I was browsing facebook. I realized that a lot of people (myself included) don't really know what to do with our lives. However, like all my friends I grew up quite privileged. By privileged I mean we don't have to worry about money as much as other people. I see that a lot of people are going back to school, just because they don't really know what to do. That is a privilege to be able to do that. Don't get me wrong, some are doing it with a goal in mind (doctor, lawyer). I can even say that about myself, because yes I have thought about grad school but only because I don't know what it is I want in life. I don't think about the people who aren't as lucky as us, those who don't even go to college for financial reasons. I didn't grow up in that situation, and neither did any of the people I know so I never think about it - but it's a reality. So for tonight, I want to count my blessings (in a non-religious manner) and to appreciate the life that I have. I guess you shouldn't feel guilty thinking about the person who has more/less than you, but to just take advantage of the opportunities that you already have.

Life..

A coworker of mine today passed away. He was new here, only been here a few months. I never took the time to talk to him, or get to know him really. I kinda regret that now, he seemed like a solid fellow. What hurts the most is that yesterday we had a company lunch, and I sat directly across from him yet didn't say anything to him. And then we left work at the same time and I was just gonna say a simple bye to him but decided not to. I don't really know why I didn't, and I guess I will never get the chance to.

I guess when things like this happen we realize that life is short, and that we may take some things for granted. And we need to appreciate what we have, and who we have in our life. This guy simply had a asthma attack early this morning and couldn't be saved. I really don't know what to say really.. They started a money collection around the office so I'm probably going to go to the bank at lunch and donate what I can. I just wish I gave the guy a friendly 'bye'.
