Recently there was a car crash involving a drunk driver where the person who was hit ended up dead and it turns out he was this girl I know boyfriend and we all graduated class of 2025 I never met him but it just feel so unreal that this could happen to someone I know let alone went to school with both of them and they're the same age as me. Do I have a right to be so down about it when I didn't really know either of them?
Yes. And no. Is important to acknowledge your feelings, but realize that all the tragedy that you hear about could also happen to you or a loved one at any moment.
Use this to cherish the person when enjoy the moments while you have them. Life is too short not to love each other.
