Distracted
I have been so engrossed by the World Cup lately which admittedly it is a good source of distraction for me...
It's Sunday, 06:26 in the morning and the phone rang an hour ago waking me up but I didn't reach it in time. That always scares me, I worry that something may have happened and someone is trying to reach me. This fear comes from several directions, aging grandparents, family far away and the loss of a dear friend.
Almost 11 years back I was on vacaction and upon returning listened to my phone messages and heard the frantic voice of another friend telling me to call him right away. I did. M. hanged himself. He was at the prime of his life, 23 and such a beautiful being inside and out. None of that mattered to him, he was obviously suffering and fighting demons.
Ever since then when the phone rings I jump and run to answer it.
