Yesterday

Yesterday was an incredibly strange and emotional day for a lot of people.  Personally, I don’t know why I felt so sad about the situation because I have never been a Kobe fan and actually pretty much hated him during his entire career.  I guess the only deaths like this that I can remember even affecting me in some kind of way was Chris Cornell or Robin Williams. 

But this one is different, Kobe didn’t have a history of addiction.  It was just a sudden accident, so I guess that why its hard for people to get their heads around this, and not to mention the guy was 41 and had a family he loved and was starting to be insanely successful in his post basketball playing career.

However, it was awesome to see how the entire social media community seemed to be on the side of showing love to the people that mean the most to you and letting go of beefs and grudges.  Honestly that stuff means nothing, and you must let the bull shit go.

I think people realized yesterday that life is short and imagined if the last thing you said to someone was some stupid ass argument about why you don’t need a top sheet or why you don’t want to do laundry or why you don’t want a salad for dinner. 

All that little bickering is pointless and in the long run what you really have at the end of your life, however long that is, is the person you are and the relationships you have built along the way.

I’m always sad when people die but I think what makes me the saddest are the people that are left behind, friends, family, ext., that have to go on dealing with stuff.  Two of my grandparents have been in and out of the hospital for the last few years and obviously this makes be sad but seeing what it does to my parents kills me.  Seeing them worrying every time they answer the phone makes me so sad. 

My friend’s grandmother just passed last night too, and I can’t even begin to imagine the stuff they are going through as a family right now.  I know these people and they are great people.  He did text me this morning and say at least she gets to hoop with Kobe, which was funny.

Alright I need to get back to work enought of this pity party haha.  I feel bad I made this whole thing about myself, but I am not smart enough or a good enough writer to write some insightful coherent thing that doesn’t involve me.  Reading that last sentence back I don’t even know what that means. But, RIP to everyone that died.

Too tell you the truth I don’t even know if any of this made any sense but whatever haha.

Y’all have a good day.
