True story. 2012 I was dealing with this girl named Cassandra Hernandes. She had strict parents. Her dad was "that type". A lot of times when we hung out, she had to make something up and then bring her little brother with her. Cant lie he was a bit of a cockblock but he thought i was cool so i kinda liked him. She always wanted us to take pictures together and me being too cool i always avoided that. Whenever she took them id make her delete it. But we was cool though, i enjoyed her company. But like most bonds tend to, it kinda faded. But we was always on good terms. So a few months go by, its the beginning of 2013 & i just moved to New Jersey. Whenever i was back in Queens i'd hit her up to chill and she would always give me an excuse why she couldnt, like " im at the dentist, or doctor. Long story short she was always giving me reasons why she couldnt, and it was always something medical. So me being me again i got upset and went off on her. And we stopped talking for a few months. Then one day on facebook i see a bunch of people saying Rest In Peace Cassandra. And it turned out that she had passed from a brain tumor and she was in the hospital for months. I was in such denial i acted like it wasnt true even though the proof was there I literally decided in my head that it wasnt true. So much that one day when i came back to Queens i walked pass the local funeral home, and it just happened to be her funeral getting ready to start right then & there. I actually saw her then 10 year old brother walking inside the funeral home with a hat that said "r.i.p cassie" i looked him straight in his face and kept walking like i had never seen him before. I walked like i didnt know her, & didnt even see the funeral getting ready to start. & for that ive always felt guilty. Ive never forgave myself for that. That was by far the shittiest thing ive ever done & i will have to live with that forever. I still think about her here and there to this day. & i had her in mind while painting this picture. Because i feel like i never got what she had to give me, i always feel like she didnt fulfill her purpose in my life. & i had the opportunity to say goodbye and i didnt.
