People are weird.

They grieve and mourn in weird ways.

I've just spent the last hour visiting Facebook pages of people I know that have passed away, died, however you want to say it - and see people that've been gone for 3+ years that are still getting posts on their walls - on the daily. People videoing themselves singing the deceased favorite song, or some song that reminds them of the dead, then posting it to their wall. What did people do before this upswing in social media to cope? Write letters and mail them to an address that some living person had taken over? Leave messages on a stranger's answering machine?

It's odd. I don't understand it. I've never really been effected by death as much as others. But I've always thought of death differently than a lot of people around me. I feel like I think of a lot of things differently.

I don't mean to be insensitive. It's just weird is all.
