this morning #828.

this morning, sure. i was shocked by the news of her sudden passing but alas, i had too many things to focus my attention on. i had to try to triage. all around me, people had suddenly begun crumbling to pieces from too much fun, leaving those of us left behind to pick up what was left. over & over, before i’d had the proper amount of time to properly mourn one loss, there was news of another. in a few instances, folks were gone before i’d even had the proper amount of time to truly get to know them. she was among this group, so i knew i couldn’t expend too much emotion despite how much i’d started to care for her. those feelings had to be reserved for those i’d known for at least a month.
