Soung just left. Sometimes silence is so loud.

Katrina’s name came up over the weekend. And seeing Soung again brought back the cold reality that I won’t ever see Katrina again. I hadn’t realized how much I link the two of them together. I met Soung because of Katrina. Had that not happened, my life would have been so much different in so many ways. For starters, I never would have been a graphic designer. Everything would be different. Everything.

It’s hard seeing Soung without remember those days. And those days are so connected to Katrina. Knowing that I live in a world that no longer includes her, makes me feel so heavy. And I feel so empty as I realize this over and over again.
