i logged on to facebook to see nick post about kylo. i was never close with kylo, but we always used to say what’s up to each other in high school. there weren’t many asian-american guys at holly springs, but we were two of them. i think that’s what connected us initially. matter of fact, he was the only other kid in the school that had the same exact shirt i had bought from tj maxx in beaver creek that said ‘peace, love, music, art.’ it was one of my favorite shirts, and by the amount of times i saw him wearing his, it was probably one of his, too. i went to his page and he posted something on monday. i got goosebumps being on his page because the thought of him gone is unreal. he just posted monday!! one second you’re born, the next you’re gone. i’ve always thought that nature in life is beautiful, but the nature of life is something else.
