Nearby Death

Posted on June 27th, 2008 by elegeia, under Events, Shocker.

My old neighbor Nancy died a little more than a month ago. We just heard of the news today because we were all busy with out lives — only knowing that we hadn’t seen her for a long time.  It is a sad thing because no one knew she died until a couple of days later, her old friends wanted to check upon her (since they also hadn’t seen her).

That day, as my dad told, he saw an ambulance truck coming and did not think much of it until now. As close neighbors, we had no idea.

I wonder how she died, whether she died peacefully.

Until now, I realized, dying alone is a grave and sad thing.

Dunno what.

I miss my friends that are in South America right now. I feel kind of “emo” (despite how I hate that word with a passion) because of all the midterms packed on one day.  I don’t know how I feel about my parents throwing their parental tantrums.  I don’t even know how I should feel about my roommates who are going back to what they used to be like last quarter.

I know I should never give up. But I need a break, and I know that.

There are so much I don’t know what to do, just… don’t know what to do at all.  Helpless is probably a really good word to describe it.  What’s sad is that I don’t have a friend (perhaps I need to trust people more) that I can call and talk about all the messed up feelings inside me.
