bad news

The two bad news I received yesterday are extreme in terms of seriousness. But nevertheless they still both tugged my heart.

On the more shallow side, the guy I've been crushing on is dating someone. And I saw it with my own eyes. They went to the same event I went too. I saw them holding hands. I saw him touching her face. It made me feel so embarrassed for being so naive in thinking he was interested in me that time. I met the girl. She seems pretty nice. (The funny thing was I was thinking we had some physical similarities. So why couldn't he notice me??) But it was a wake up call from my 3-week daydream.

Then on a much more serious note, the friend I wrote about has finally passed away. The silver lining is he doesn't have to suffer anymore -- his family too. Even if I only knew him for a short time, I'm glad to have known him. For the relatively short life he lived, he has touched hundreds of people's lives. Even some kids from camp know him. How many people could have that many people would have that out-pour of support and love?
