So last Wednesday I was thinking about someone I knew from high school days, all day. To the extent that I actually ended up sending him a private message saying, "Hey been thinking about you , are you ok? How is the family?"
He had been at my school, was even at my 16th birthday party , but he had moved back to the uk a long time ago. I have absolutely loved following him on facebook for many years and just love hearing about his life and his family, who he seemed to have loved so dearly.
A few days ago I just found out that he had actually passed away from a sudden heart attack, on the day I had been thinking about him. Just wow. So surreal.
Interestingly this has led me to a decision to start posting on facebook again, I stopped a few years ago posting anything other than business posts, when I lost some friends I had thought were absolute forever friends, it devastated me, and I made the decision to stop posting about my personal life and what I was doing, I felt that was the right thing for me in that moment, which is now coming up to two years.
However, this week with this amazing man passing, I have made a new decision, I've realised that if he hadn't kept posting all his beautiful memories and moments of his life, I would have lost touch with him and that would be sad. So yeah, I think in this day and age where we no longer have photo albums the way we use to facebook is kind of that, creating memories, I guess I now realise that I would hate for those who love me to miss out on seeing what I am up to, the way I followed Mark (and actually alot of others, who I don't really see on a day to day basis).
So whilst I won't be posting every moment of every day, I certainly will be making an effort to post alot more (don't worry I won't post every thought, every meal, lol).
Thanks Mark for the wake-up call, a wake-up call to reach out to beautiful friends, (which I have and am) a wake-up call for better health, a wake-up call to live in the moment and a wake-up call to live my absolute best life.
