With every waking breath I breathe.

You go through every mundane day, a life of superficiality and unawareness, then something like that happens and it hits you like a ton of bricks. And it hurts. Your heart literally aches for that person's pain. You wish that there was something that you could do or say that would erase her anguish.
You ask that same cliched question that visits on, unfortunately, a regular basis: Why is life so unfair? Why do good people get punished, while other less worthy ones lead charmed lives?
Your mind can't help but be triggered to flashback on that very same experience that you went through a year ago. Memories seep through your veins.
That sad pain in your chest grows even deeper.
You think to yourself, how can the world go on? Do they not know the pain I'm going through? How can they continue like nothing's happened?
But it does.
The birds continue to chirp in the mornings.
The tides change as per normal.
The sun still rises in the East and sets in the West.
People continue to be inconsiderate on public transport.
Life goes on.
It has to.


You know who you are: I'm here for you 24/7 if you need me. No matter what, know that you're not alone and that you have people who love and care about you. Be strong.
