Shocking Reality

Gosh today has just been filled with excessive random thoughts about what could/what should've been. Yesterday I heard that my cousin passed away. His name was Logan and he was fourteen years old. I didn't really know him; I knew who we was, but we didn't know each other on a personal level; yet, it still feels like I lost someone close to me. It just seems entirely unfair because he was so young :/. I don't think anyone should be taken away when they haven't even started living, but it really made me think a lot. I've been tossing thoughts about what could have been done, so that it wouldn't have ended the way it did, trying not to put blame on others, but finding it hard to…I don't know what to think I just feel bad for everyone that knew him a lot better than I did, and that I should have made an effort to be there for him. This whole thing really made me think about how short life is and how no one should take any second for granted. This whole thing made me realize not to put things off for tomorrow because it's never promised, and motivate me not to be afraid to pursue my dreams. R.I.P. little cousin, I know we didn't know each other, but we're still family, I hope you're in a better place now.
