Lost One

Jay-Z said it well:

"Time don't go back, it go forward.
Can't run from the pain, go towards it.
Some things can't be explained, what caused it?
Such a beautiful soul, so pure, shit.
Gonna see you again, I'm sure of it.
Til that time, little man I'm nauseous."

With so many loses in the world as of recent, it's easy for anyone to understand the thoughts and feelings in those words. It's hard when you lose someone that the world knows. But it's even harder when you lose someone that the world didn't get the chance to know yet.

But I think that's what helps show someone's character. Because some people are something to the world; and some are the world to some people.

It's an amazing feeling to be surrounded by people who are all gathered not to mourn a loss but to celebrate a life. To listen to the stories being shared. To be inspired by someone who is no longer with us. I believe in my heart that everyone that I was with last night left that location with a little bit more added to their spirit. Just a little piece of a spirit that we all couldn't help but love. One that we will never forget. One that will forever live on in us all.
