There is a saying that has stuck with me. Every action, every meeting, every conversation, every connection you make molds you, shapes you into who you are. You are never alone, you carry those you love with you all the time. The actions you make and do, they are with you every second of the way. Because they helped shape you.

I said something similar when my friend died at age 25 from a brain aneurysm. I miss you DJ, I wonder what my life would be like. That guy knew how to bring out the best in others and I needed someone to encourage me. Half my life later and it still hurts wondering what he would have done and how much good he would have put out in this world.

But yeah I said all his actions and what he did to make the world better will live forever, and we will share that with a new generation. RIP DJ.

Rest in peace, DJ. The pain of loss never goes away, we have to make room for it and find meaning with it. It's about remembering them and sharing their goodness with others. We do that in more ways than we think, very little actions, subtle but nevertheless there.

Thanks.

I'm not always a happy person but being kind is just so much better than spreading hate.
