I never understood the order of things - the cycle of life which one is to follow to maintain normality. Us people learn at a young age what is bad and good, normal and abnormal. We learn to categorize and place things where they belong; it all starts at preschool from putting the different shape blocks in the right holes in the wooden box and then later leads onto high school and then university. What’s the meaning of this order of education? So we learn to provide for our family and children so they then can go onto learn about order and then proceed to preschool, primary school, high school, university so they then can to provide for their children. What we never learnt was what happens when the order of life is broken, what happens when events happen that are out of ‘normal’ This idea of order gives everyone meaning to their lives – When my aunty and uncle lost their children the only thing they found was that the order of things were bullshit. They worked for their kids so they could provide them with everything so they were well off, what was the purpose of staying alive after they lost the game and let go of their children? Was there whole life of education nothing and even after they still couldn’t control the un-controllable because it was never taught it wasn’t possible. ‘everything happens for a reason’ what a fuckload of shit, things happen at random and are undefined. ‘God has a plan for everyone’ bullshit good is a bystander in all of these tragedies and doesn’t that make him just as bad as the tormenter – so they say in school when you are taught about bullying.

How common death was always made me uneasy as it was so effortless itself to achieve, the fact that in any given moment you could be taken away from everything you knew and loved, the fact that your future solemnly did not exists anymore, you didn’t exist, your brother, sister, grandparent, aunty, uncle didn’t exist anymore. The hardest part about watching someone lose another is that they will never share another moment with them ever again in the whole remaining time they have left, and you watch on as every memory becomes the still point of the turning world as it is over analyzed and cherished and how they regret how deeply they took tomorrow for advantage. As you observe them you couldn’t help but feel the unfairness of it all, why me, why them, why anyone? You watch a families stitching come undone only to result in them having no sense of where to go anymore, having to create new beginnings without their most treasured loved ones, you have to witness a best friend lose the one person who knew them the most and how reminiscing on memories is like clinging to knives as it cuts so intensely. An feeling sorry for the people who were yet to met them and were destined for them but never had the chance, the husband or wife they were to marry, who just lost a soul mate without even knowing. There unborn children who will never get a chance to live, the future career opportunities and places they were destined to go , all these things that slipped away in a matter of seconds, like a mechanical glitch inside a machine that simply stopped it from working anymore, like a camera battery run dead or the light bulb blow it is all these things that give insight into how easy it is to expire and how much we take for granted; Shows that life is mealy nothing against the whole spectrum of our existence.

“I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills. But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away.”
