Storytime: Yesterday I spent all day reading at the library

📚 and what began as a pleasant day turned to sadness when I got home. I arrived home after 21:00 and I discovered that my childhood best friend had visited to tell me some news but I had missed him. One of our school friends unfortunately passed away. 💔

He was my age, 26, and had a heart attack. I've been really shocked and deeply saddened with this news. It has made me reflect on how precious, fragile and unpredictable life is. He was also married. 😔

I have been thinking about this a lot and I now realise that I want to be kinder, more understanding and more forgiving. 🙏

We are all here for such a short time and there is enough pain in the world already that we do not need to add to it. I don't want to live a life of conflict and neither do I want to live a life of apathy. If we want to make our dreams come true then we need to work for them. ✨

I hope my friend will rest in peace.❤️
