The "S" Word (three)

Why should I be the one to surrender myself? Better question: why shouldn't you? Sometimes I wonder just what I got myself into... Why did I trust you so much? I knew we'd end up here. And all it would take for us to move on is one small favour. Relatively small, that is, because each person must pay a price for their actions.

Different Angles

Sometimes it pays to see life differently. Everyone will quote famous sayings about how life is too short not to live it to the fullest. Does that really capture the essence of a person's life? Maybe my way of living differed from yours, that's to be expected... but that doesn't make it wrong. You lived for you, and that was what made you the kind of person you'll always be remembered as.

I didn't know you all that well, but over the past couple of years, I learned a lot. There's no doubt about it, you saw life in a way that not many other people could. You always knew just what to say to make life seem less intense. Thanks for your words of wisdom, for all you've done for my friends, and for the great life you lived... Maybe one day we'll all learn to see life the way you did. Rest in peace Brandon.
