Hi everyone,
I mentioned it earlier today during the Locals stream: a childhood friend of mine died suddenly in their sleep. Keeping it gender neutral, not for political reasons, just not to disclose whether or not the person was male or female.
One of our OG friends from elementary school. Not that we had been particularly close in adulthood. It’s just that you remember those childhood friends that you spent time in school with as kids.
Healthy. With a family. 43 years old. Goes to sleep one night, and does not wake up the next day.
I know the person was very fearful during Covid. Following all the rules. So I know where my thoughts go, and how other people would criticize me for having my thoughts go there. But that’s where they are at.
I also know that young people die all the time. It just seems like it’s happening more now. And I think that is because it is happening more now.
No real point to this… Other than to say that I am upset, but also very angry. Not angry to the point of doing anything that would give my ideological adversaries fuel. My parents, children, and pets will not be disappointed with me.
But I am angry.
Maybe it’s just bad luck.
See you on Sunday.
