Time

I've never paid much attention to the passing of time, but with the passing of my older cousin, I'm starting to feel a certain weight pressing down on me. My cousin was 53, just two years older than my parents are right now, and died of a heart attack. Granted, my aunt passed two years ago to cancer; however, I think it was the sudden nature of his death that shocked me to this point of awareness. Her death came after a long period of preparing for the worst, but his death, there was absolutely no warning. Our time on Earth is not guaranteed, nor is it unlimited. I'm getting older, I'm not that much wiser, and time is running away from me like Usain Bolt. I need shot.

And here's Aisha with the news...

I got a job. The end. 

(I'll write more about it later. Know that it is an amazing opportunity though!)
