San Francisco Chronicles

"Jeremy Hansen was a 20-year-old student at Chabot College in Hayward who was hoping to build a career as a sports physical therapist. He had been accepted to San Diego State University and was planning to transfer. Early Sunday, however, Hansen was slain during a fight outside a bar in Hayward.

Same age as I am, knows what he is doing... successful... and has something going for him. Yet, it was taken away in a matter of seconds, minutes, hours; depending on how fast he died. It gets me thinking about how I don't want to be too successful, yet you need to be successful to get anywhere decent.

It also gets me thinking, don't go to a fucking bar. You're only asking for trouble.

Ugh, this kind of stuff gets to me. People are living successful lives, they know what they want to do and are working to get to them, and they never get to live them out because they die tragically. Just makes me feel like they're the hard working type who dies before showing their potential, basically making everything they've been working for going to waste. Just a shame to see people die like this.

I've had traumatic experiences involving life and death, and I secretly hope people are okay knowing that many people die each day.

Yes, I was disgusted the news article. It made me fear when I get to that point... only to die by the hands of something unfortunate because I was at the wrong place at the wrong time. Or someone held a grudge against me and decided to finally fuck me up.

I'm a bit afraid of being successful right now. I'm scared of losing something I have worked so hard for.... I wouldn't exactly say, wasted time, because he was doing something he liked. If he didn't, I'm sure it wouldn't have been a major. That's why I want to do something I want to do and go from there. Yet, I'm afraid of falling at the same time - the vicious cycle is vicious.
