Why Death Sucks Parts 2 & 3

He Didn't Get to Finish the Job


I'll always be seen as a disappointment [to myself] in the eyes of my dad. Its pretty difficult not to glorify the dead, and its just as difficult to live up to their glorified standards.


I'll always think that if my father had been around after the age of ten to raise me, teach me, push me, I would have ended up a much better person.

  • The actual sense of loss. The loss means he was once here.





  • A bunch of bricks in Brooklyn.
