Things that make you pause and reflect
I went to one of my new reads tonight and found this story about a young blogger, 18 years old, who was killed over the weekend in a car crash along with her boyfriend. This girl's last post was a joke of sorts, and the comments have now turned into a lovely memorial. Really makes you stop and think about how each word you type very well could be your last, and never to take the mere fact you are alive and breathing for granted... I had never visited your site until tonight, Becky, but may you rest in peace, and both of your families and friends find comfort.



Hey boy take a look at me...let me dirty up your mind...



thanks for the link, robyn. what a tragedy. really does make us think about our words doesnt it? may she rest in peace.

Hey.. I came over here from lisa's site... I checked out that girl's LJ and it's just so sad that they had to go like that, I was going to post on it but I didn't feel like it was my place, most of what was there was so pure and from the hearts of those who really knew her and loved her.

I woke up again a few minutes ago and went back to look at her site. I think I just found why it tugged at my heart so much, without even knowing it. While reading through her entries, I found this at the very bottom of the page...the last words there..."was it shirley manson who said the trick is to keep breathing? i think its a song or something. im finally becoming who i was born to be..." That song is one of my skins for this site. So sad at 18. You really are supposed to have 18 and life to go.
