LIFE IS FULL OF UNEXPECTED GOODBYES

Life is full of unexpected goodbyes I say each time I hear stories of how people lose their loved one

Life has no manual, it's never planned
You are here now and the next minute you are far gone.
It's like sometimes we just live life according to how it comes
It's tragic sometimes, not sometimes actually but everytime people we love get separated from us

It's one depth we never get to fill up

How deep this is depends on how precious what we lost is

The most important thing is we never get to lose what we cherish, it's never a good thing to heal from

It was some two years ago, the year started well for me, you can tell from how energetic and organized I was from the beginning of the year

It was as if had everything under my control
It was a smooth beginning for literally everyone around me.
yes, I loved that year, academics were going as planned and yes my ongoing project was in motion

what more would I have asked for to start a new year, blissful you'd call it for me

But life does not always go as planned, sometimes I feel we need to always plan for unforeseen circumstances in whatever we do, you know that type of planning so we don't get caught unaware.
but would you even remember this while everything is going as planned?
I doubt it

This incident occurred when I lost a dear friend
The year had just begun and I thought had it under control.
Well, life responded to that, saying it's full of unexpected goodbyes

That very moment I felt myself being in a bigger situation than me, a type I had never experienced and it took a huge turn on me

I was down for weeks, reminiscing about the good times we had, dreams and goals planned together

All through this period I had no idea of how to push through, I was just trying to get by day by day

It was unexpected and a tragic thing to occur.
It's one difficult phase I had to push through

Yes it took a negative turn on me
yes it made me feel like the year was just another one with a fluke
and yes it made me see life as indeed a cheap one

But do we stay down expecting problems to solve itself?

There's a place of problem and a place for a solution

I needed to get myself together and yes with time it got better
I realized indeed life is full of unexpected goodbyes, one mentality that helped me get over the situation

I see I experienced the unexpected goodbyes about life which was not a good thing to experience
It came with a bigger situation than I could comprehend and at first had no idea how to push through.
It surely was a difficult one for me

To those who have lost one person or another I pray for comfort and strength to get by the difficult phase
