happiness through loss.

here's a beautiful song about loss that Johnny showed me today. if you click the link, you can stream the song underneath the description.

i think it's a really beautiful song, because it shows the genuine pain that comes with the loss of someone you love, but it isn't talking about the death of the one who died, it's talking about her life. And it talks about the way the people's lives whom she left behind will be affected by her death. Recently A nineteen-year-old girl named Christine died in a hiking accident. Her family was devastated, and my sister Teresa was showing me her sister's facebook page. I was so struck by the love and hope I could see in her family. They were obviously heartbroken at the loss of their daughter and sister, but they posted pictures full of such love and hope, remembering Christine's life with joy. I felt so inspired at the strength of this family.

I think it's time to try harder to make my life a life of complete joy, something that will be remembered as a consolation when i leave the world.
