death

death is a friend.

im probably going to cry writing this blog but this is my mindscape for the next 10 minutes.

i think we often view things that are inherently negative in a negative light, and i know for a second you might think "that's why they are negative" but what if you just didnt? death for example is something no can avoid, not even religiously omnipotent characters because they are the ones who break it to you when you do croak. so for a second , lets just flip life and death. if you were aware that the two were in an intertwined marriage you would equally hate both, with this outlook you would fear life as death comes with it.

death shouldn't be something we're scared of it should be something that can be celebrated as just as you had the chance to experience life, you now have the chance to experience death whether that be within yourself or with fallen people around you. i can often recall when my perspective on this changed, my mom told me how in Louisiana death isn't mourned forever, its celebrated... not in a sadistic way but in the way that they were even able to live the life they did, nonetheless i doubt they'd want you mourning them in the past life. this is something i had to figure out when i lost someone close to me and maybe there will be relatability here. when you lose a friend or family, the only time you will ever lose them is when you forget about them not when they pass.

now am i saying you should reek havoc on the world, no.. absolutely not. i think the message im trying to convey is everyone loses beings close to them human or not. death is as omnipotent as other figures, but once you change your outlook on it and view death as a person you'll realize different outlooks. death isnt some evil... when someone dies you aren't 'losing them' you're allowing them to walk a different path and just meet new people. essentially you're allowing the blessing you once had to bless a different audience. after all everything requires balance, if it never rained how could we appreciate sunny days. 

nonetheless if death didnt exist, how could we appreciate life?
