Rites Of Passage

This year could be described as a Rite Of Passage for me. This year I felt invincible and I felt like as a teenager I was on top of the world. It's like what all teenagers think because we are at our strongest and fastest stages of our lives. I was always running around and being a daredevil and throwing caution to the wind. Also I loved to show off to people by doing stupid and dangerous things and trying to be really cool with it. Not only me but I have a lot of friends that do that too. However recently this year and good person and friend of mine passed away. He was a very confident guy and always looked like he was on top of the world. the thing that caught me was that he was the same age as me and now he is gone. It teaches me that death can be so unexpected and can happen to anyone. Thats why now I  take things into perspective knowing that we are just as fragile as other people out there and that things bad or good can happen to anyone. So now before anything stupid and non thought out is about to be done Ill look twice before the action is done.
