perks;

too soon;

I still remember the first day I met you, there was nothing special that happened, no words passed that I can remember but for some reason I glanced your way and noticed you. You know that moment when you're in a room of new people, new peers, you look around and try and guess who you'd end up connecting with. I may not have known you very well. But we co-existed, and sometimes that's enough.

For some reason I feel the need to say this (or rather type this) in some way, shape or form. Not for me, but for you, for your family and for your friends who knew and love you dearly. You left us too soon. In such a small class of students as our own, your presence will be missed dearly. I guess I just want you to know, you've made such a big impact in our community that will resonate with many generations of students to come. You were one of the few who saw an opportunity to make a difference and did all in your power to make it happen.

A short three years and three months ago, we started university unknowing of the friends we had yet to meet and the challenges we had yet to face. Now with graduation just months away and all of us making plans to go our separate ways, it's just not fair that the world and its people are left without you. You were the one who was going to be someone and do something special. I guess this is something we'll never really understand, it took us all by surprise, this isn't something anyone expects to have to deal with, ever. I pray for those loved ones who are trying to make sense of this all and that you have found the peace that you deserve.

RIP Devin.

It's so frustrating when you know you can do something. I mean you've done it before. And yet you can't. Something is holding you back. You can't/ or don't want to for some reason, give your all. It's my last year. Lets make it count. Lets not regret putting in those extra hours or making the ones you've already put in count. No more coasting. It's work time. Everything is lined up, just don't throw it away.
