LOST ONES - Mickeal Bolenge (28/08/2014)
“You could be here today smiling in a pic, and then the next day that same pic you took is edited with RIP in it”

I was sitting down in my room listening to music on my iPhone, when ‘Reptar – Losing my balance’ started playing, and the lyrics that I have quoted above really made me think about my own life, and the people around me that have passed away. Losing someone you know is never something you ever want to hear. Especially when they’re young, full of life and have so much to give to the world. Many of us have lost loved ones whether it be friends or family, the circumstances in which we have lost them vary from a range of things but the one thing that I feel we all have in common is when we ask Why did it have to be them? This question continuously runs through our minds. We tend to question God or life in general and wonder why something wasn't done so that the people we love would still be here today. This has led many people away from God and made them non-believers because of the rage, anger and overwhelming flow of emotion that had suddenly consumed their hearts, and sometimes people do not recover from such things. Can you really blame them for feeling like this? Or should they be more understanding because they know that everything happens for a reason. With so many questions out there but not enough answers to give us the satisfaction we need; waking up each day is a blessing, breathing in itself is a luxury. Both these things are major things in my opinion but how often do with think about them.
In life we have to understand that we cannot worry about situations that are out of our control, and death is one of them therefore we just have to sit back, relax and enjoy the journey, otherwise we would have many unanswered questions
