I am the longing for justice and truth...
So a quick update with my stolen wallet. All accts have been closed, fraud alert has been placed on my credit, contacted the FTC (Federal Trade Commission), filed a police report(which I still need to pick up), disputed any and all charges on my cc's and my wamu card. I requested a new DL and will need to go back w/ my police report in order to change my DL number. Needless to say, it's been quite a headache dealing with all this. I can't wait til it's all sorted out...
Life hasn't been all peaches and cream lately...in addition to the wallet being stolen, I've been dealing with other conflicts in my life, and then of course, events that happen in one's life that just put all of the little things into perspective... I found out last week that one of my old friends from back in the day lost his life tragically. He was so young, and it really was so unexpected, not like one expects this type of thing to happen, but really came out of the blue. The more I think about it, the sadder it makes me. It actually took a while for it to start sinking in, and I still don't think it has fully affected me. But the fact is, it does make all of my issues really trivial. I always hear that you shouldn't live your life for tomorrow, for tomorrow may never come...that is so true. Hard to always remember that, but when things like this happen, it just hits home... I remember reading jevon's blog about how death happens, sometimes so suddenly, sometimes so quickly, and I can't help but think about what thoughts may have been going through my friend's mind right before he left this world. Were his thoughts full of clarity? Or were things hazy? I wasn't really gonna mention it, but my friend took his life. Why? I have absolutely no idea...it really came out of left field and was a complete and utter shock to all of his friends and family. I get chills just thinking about it... LIke I said, I don't fully think it's hit me yet, and I don't really want to think about how I will be once it does... All I can do at this point is pray...I pray for my friend, for his family, for his friends, and for all of his loved ones...
It's kind of crazy to think of how life can be so full of ups and downs...just an hour ago, and intermittently every 15 minutes or so, I think about the dodger game last night...arguably one of the absolute greatest games in MLB history. Came back from 4 down to tie it up in the bottom of the 9th and then nomar hits a two run shot to win the game in the 10th...it was absolutely amazing. And then the next minute, I'm thinking about my friend...and I'm sad again...emotion can be such a roller coaster ride. Sometimes I feel guilty that I can get excited and happy during such a time, but then I realize, it's these happy times that help GET me through the tough ones. It's the smiles and the laughter and even the tears that pushes us through. It's important to look for the silver lining...always look for the silver lining...
