Merry Christmas everyone,
I was just going to write a quick conte About how Un Merry Christmas really is.
Just To sound like the cynical Loner that I'm perceived as
But I don't think I'm in the right mind to even write about the coming Holidays since I Woke up to the cold news of Paul Walker's demise.
Well Maybe next year I'd write about Christmas (That's if I'm still on this earth)
I'm not much of a Movie buff.
But Just Months back when Dstv failed me.
I had To just Re-watch Fast Five with a friend.
Half way into the movie, She asked "I really like this Bryan Guy's Eyes. If you could be anyone in the World Who would it be?"
As much as I was trying to her,
I really wanted to Say "Well I really admire myself a lot So I'd still Choose to be myself"
But I knew that wasn't true.
So I replied "Batman, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Your Blue-eyed Guy(Paul Walker) Or Batman again"
I'm not Going to tell you about how much he inspired me and made me a better person and all that
Cos I barely knew him Or saw him in any other movie.
So That's probably all I know about the late actor
I'd like to write a piece about Death.
I know you've probably read one too many posts about it
But I'd appreciate it If you still read this one.
A couple of songs Led to Me writing this Piece,
I'd really like you to Listen to them If You Have Them,
Or Just Download them Before reading
Just to get in the same mood with Me.
Recommended Listen :

I haven't really lost any important Person or Loved one.
And That's probably because I can count all the people I think I truly love and care about on One Hand.
About 3 Days Back, I got a text from my mum asking to meet her at my Aunt's House.
Because she had just lost her First and Only Daughter.
Whom I never Met, she only Called me on some Birthday
My Aunt was Broken to say the Least.
I couldn't stand the Weeping and Sobbing so I gave her my Condolences and just stepped out of the house For Some Air and a Quick Stroll To Clear my Head and just Question God for a bit.
On My way out I met a Tall bearded Man, The Husband of the Deceased.
He was also heading out,but to Get food for the Well Wishers and Mourners. He asked me to follow him to the Eatery cos He'd need a hand with the bags of food, So I agreed.
On our way to the Eatery in His Car he Said " Would you Believe I still Spoke to her before my Flight back home, we still Laughed together, we still Bet about 10,000 on the Tottenham/Man U game And then I Got Back Home To a House Filled with relatives I've never met and a dead wife, Death is just Ridiculous"
I was just there in his Car waiting for the traffic to ease itself just to save me the Awkwardness of having to Reply because I'm not good at Sympathy because of the little Experience I've had.
I just Hope He'd be strong Enough for His kids, I really Hope He pulls through this.
All I could think about was The Void, he must be trying Frantically To Fill up as Quick as Possible.
And I Think that's just the worst part.
I don't think I have a Problem with People Dying,
I just have a Problem with The Timing, And The void Left Behind especially.
I think it Sucks that you can't know When you'd leave this Earth Y'know it really Sucks Because if I knew when I'd be Dying,
I'd know when To Try and be a better person,
I'd know When to be a complete asshole,
I'd Know when To Travel the World in search of An adventure,
I'd Know When To Flirt around and Just be Stupid,
I'd know When To Find True Love and Settle Down,
I Wouldn't even need a Bucket List,
Because I'd Just Know When to Start Living,
And Most Importantly I'd Know When To Patch things up and Make things Right with the people I've Wronged.
But ofcourse You Can Never Know,
Death just Waltz In and Puts you in the passenger seat and Just Drives off into the Sunset or Whatever.
But guess what? If you're reading this You're ahead of Death on The scoreboard, Why? Cos you're still Alive.
You Still have the Chance To Get things Right.
I know I may be too young to Give all those 'Life's too Short' Speeches But I'd Give them Anyways.
Life is So So So So Short!
So If you've wronged or Think You've Wronged anyone,
Or You think They've Wronged You.
Just Call them up and Make things Right.
And there are some people Who've Messed you Up real Bad,
I Get that, and its almost impossible to Forgive them.
Just Think of the last Thing you said To Them,
Do you really want those to be your Last Words to them? And Most Importantly,
If, There's anything you've always wanted to Do But Due to certain factors like The Society,Friends,Family Whatever. You Haven't Been able to Do,
What are you waiting For? Go and Do it!
