Old Friend is Gone

[not a doctor steve]

Tonight a few hours ago, I found out an old friend committed suicide. I really can't say I'm surprised. He acted wrong a lot of the time but if you knew what to expect, he was a good person. Like really, he could glow. Because of how he acted, a lot of mutual friends decided he was selfish and after some shit, excommunicated him. He was 17 or 18, had a terrible home situation, used anything he could. I miss him. I feel bad I wasn't a friend for longer. I know it's not my place. My world isn't shattered by this, I just need to get it off my chest.

" I miss him. I feel bad I wasn't a friend for longer. "

i fully understand this

and because i do have to: i continue our friendships
w/o regret or guilt; not any of that for long... but as you are doing,
in memory and with respect.

it can be really hard to assume of others.




... keep giving care.

^ This is lovely

There is a shrine to people, like your mate who's lives and Spirit you wish to honour here.

NaD Steve, I feel the same way about similar people I have known; who have suffered and died in tragic situations. I could have been one of them, I was nearly. Life and people are so important to us, even if we are overwhelmed by tragedy and cruelty. Their/Our power, despite any wrongdoings on their/our part is bigger than death and Time. What they mean to you now is indeed the most important thing, apart from the perceived, physical, barriers we are never really seperate from each other .
