Loss.

One of my biggest fears. Losing people, whether it is temporary or permanent. I have always lived by the term "everybody leaves.". For a long time I couldn't fathom why things happened the way they did. When it came to losing people I would become engulfed in my own sadness. I felt hopeless & alone. I felt like the absence of the peoples presence was my fault. Until suddenly I became numb to it. The loss of these people no longer phased me. Until I lost you, dad. All of the emotions I used to feel when losing people, the feelings I had tucked away emerged from inside me. From that day forward for the rest of my life, whether its on good or bad terms, whether it is avoidable or not, losing people will be my biggest fear.
