A deadly start of the year …

The death toll among the people I know spiked this past two months, I lost three people, two of whom I was close to. I can’t really find peace when it comes to death. Although I come from a background that believes in destiny – let alone my own beliefs – I’ve never been able to understand why people so young have to die.

One of my friends who passed away was an American living in Egypt. He was living alone and he died alone, days passed before they figured it out. What makes me any different?? I am living alone in a foreign country and if anything happens to me it would be days before somebody realizes something is wrong.

There got to be a reason for this mess they call life… there got to be some logic behind it all.
