~:[CH8 - Day 182]:~ Life Comes & It Goes
News broke of the death of the 27 year old starting pitcher Tyler Skaggs of the Los Angeles Angels. It's a heartbreaking update as he is described as one of the nicest people you could meet and also had a bright future ahead of him. You can only imagine the pain and agony that his family, friends and teammates must be going through. As the thoughts of this article lingered in my mind, it reminded me about how life passes so quickly sometimes. Like the constantly flow of trains in every stations, people come and go. We cross paths, we may chat, but at some point, that train arrives and that train will leave. As much as I love soaking in the change in environment around me, wandering the streets and trying to find places I've never been, today also made me miss the love of my family, friends, and all those I encounter. As much as I wanted to stay abroad, as there were a number of people I still wanted to meet, today was a reminder that there are a multitude of things awaiting me at home. As the countdown of my final few days begins, my sadness suddenly turned to excitement as while I will miss my friends and all the experiences I've been able to have here, I'm excited to head home before any train departs into eternity. Rest in peace Tyler Skaggs.
