Just a Random Thought
<p>It came out of nowhere.</p><p>I wasn’t sad.</p><p>Nothing bad had happened.</p><p>It was just a normal moment… and then suddenly</p><p>I thought about it.</p><p>Death.</p><p>Not in a dramatic way.</p><p>Not like fear or panic.</p><p>Just… awareness.</p><p>That one day, I will close my eyes…</p><p>and not open them again.</p><p>And somehow, that wasn’t even the scariest part.</p><p>The scariest part was thinking about the people I love.</p><p>The ones who make me laugh without trying.</p><p>The ones I talk to almost every day.</p><p>The ones who feel like they’ll always be there.</p><p>And then the thought came</p><p>What if one day… they’re not?</p><p>It felt strange.</p><p>Because nothing was wrong.</p><p>Nobody was gone.</p><p>Everything was still normal.</p><p>But that thought?</p><p>It didn’t feel normal.</p><p>It felt heavy.</p><p>Like realizing something you’ve always known…</p><p>but never really allowed yourself to sit with.</p><p>We don’t talk about it.</p><p>We don’t sit down and say,</p><p>“one day, this will all end.”</p><p>We just assume there’s time.</p><p>Time to call.</p><p>Time to care more.</p><p>Time to show up better.</p><p>But what if time isn’t as much as we think?</p><p>And then I thought about something else</p><p>What does it even feel like… to stop?</p><p>To just… go quiet?</p><p>No thoughts.</p><p>No voice.</p><p>No awareness.</p><p>That part?</p><p>I couldn’t even process it.</p><p>So I did what we all do.</p><p>I pushed the thought away.</p><p>Picked up my phone.</p><p>Scrolled.</p><p>Distracted myself.</p><p>But it didn’t fully leave.</p><p>Because maybe it’s not meant to.</p><p>Maybe that thought isn’t there to scare us.</p><p>Maybe it’s there to remind us.</p><p>That the people we love?</p><p>They matter now.</p><p>That the moments we ignore?</p><p>They matter now.</p><p>That life isn’t something to postpone.</p><p>Because one day…</p><p>whether we like it or not</p><p>Everything pauses.</p><p><br/></p><p>I was just a random thought today…</p><p>And strangely,</p><p>it didn’t just make me afraid.</p><p>It made me aware</p><p>that I’m still here.</p>
