Fear

There is nothing in life that is worse than losing the people around you.

I might not be the most social person, but the people around me do matter, a lot.

Years ago, when someone very important to me walked out of my life, when the people that matter most all turned against me, I really couldn't find a reason to keep going.  If the most important people in my life are all gone, then nothing I do has any meaning.  I could be on top of the world and it would all be meaningless if there's nobody to share it with.

There's nothing in life that is more painful than losing someone.

There is nothing in life that is more frightening.

I was reminded of this today when a sms came through on my phone.

To all my family and friends out there:  Take care of yourself.  Keep in touch.  I never want to see anything bad happen to anyone of you, because you all mean something to me, because I would not be the person I am without all of you.
