An Open Letter To My Friend Who Passed Away

I will never forget you.

An Open Letter To My Friend Who Passed Away

Dear Friend,

I miss you.

I know that's what everyone says at a time like this, but I don't know what else to say. When I say, "I miss you," I mean I miss everything about you.

I miss your hearty laugh, especially when we would laugh for 10 minutes straight about something that only you and I thought was hilarious.

I miss your wise words because you always knew exactly what to say when I needed your help.

I miss your spontaneity. You were always the first who was willing to go on a simple midnight adventure or a day trip a few hours away.

I miss your hugs, whether they were for a happy reason or a sad one, hugs always made everything better.

I miss your selflessness, always willing to drop everything in your life to help someone who was important to you.

I miss talking to you about important things, but also the most obscure topics we could think of.

I miss your heart because not only were you selfless, but you were generous, kind, and loving to all of those around you.

But most of all, I just miss you.

Dealing with death is never easy and everyone deals with it differently, but I certainly have had a hard time coming to terms with yours. I never thought that would be something I would have to face, but it is and I have to find some way to accept it, if I ever can.

I have so many questions that I will never get the answer to.

Why you?

Why now?

Are you safe?

Are you at peace?

I so badly want the answers to these because it just doesn't make sense to me that you are gone. I keep expecting you to call me and tell me it was all some sort of sick joke, but you are alive and well. But I know deep down that's not how this is going to work.

I think most of all I want you to know how much you meant to me. I don't know if I said it enough during our friendship, but I really hope you knew that. You helped me through so many issues in my life and I am forever grateful for that. I truly hope that everyone gets to experience a friend like you. I wish I would have the opportunity to tell you that more.

I wish I could've stopped this from happening. I keep going through everything in my head trying to think of ways I could've prevented this from happening, but I know I couldn't have. I wish I had the superpower to turn back time just so I can get one more opportunity to talk to you, tell you everything we all love about you, and tell you how much I appreciate you.

You were, and still are, so loved by many. Even though you are not here anymore, you will always be in my heart. You were such a special person and I hope you still know that.

I miss you.

Love,

Your Friend

Scarred

One of the darkest moments in my family's life.

Scarred
Huffington Post

I knew this day was coming when my mother’s decided to get spinal surgery. February 20, was the date her surgery was set. It was a normal day in school when I received the message of a lifetime. My oldest sibling telling me our mother’s surgery went wrong. Imagining what could possibly go wrong made my eyes water. Felt like I was the only person on my bus. Everything was silence and my mind was racing. There was never a positive thought in my head. Taking the last step off the bus and the first step onto the porch, everything was real.

Michigan Rain Vs. California Rain

SO, I've just recently had the fortunate experience to be reminded just how Michigan rains. Now, before you roll your eyes at me, I HAVE EXPERIENCED RAIN (in regards of the the popular joke that Californians haven't). However, I have to agree; after experiencing one of Michigan's thunderstorms (with my college's sirens blaring in the background), it comes to mind just how different "rain" is between the two states:

If you have been following me for a long time, then you know I write about two main things: relateable articles and communication media based articles. Now, it is time for me to combine the two. For those of you that don't know, I am a radio DJ at IUP, and I DJ for a show called BPM (Beats Per Minute). It is an EDM, or electronic dance music, based show and I absolutely love it.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me

This one's for you, Spock.

6 Things Owning A Cat Has Taught Me
Liz Abere

Owning a pet can get difficult and expensive. Sometimes, their vet bills cost hundreds of dollars just for one visit. On top of that, pets also need food, a wee wee pad for a dog, a litter box with litter for a cat, toys, and treats. Besides having to spend hundreds of dollars on them, they provide a great companion and are almost always there when you need to talk to someone. For the past six years, I have been the proud owner of my purebred Bengal cat named Spock. Although he's only seven years and four months old, he's taught me so much. Here's a few of the things that he has taught me.
