I got some heartbreaking news today. An old classmate of mine committed suicide yesterday. He was my first crush in grade school, always popular, funny, a real comedian that brightened the lives of the people around him. He was an artist, always drawing cartoons in school. I hadn't spoken to him for many years... Remember, I'm a shy violet and he was a popular kid, so we didn't exactly run in the same circles. But to hear that he ended his own life breaks my heart. I'm sorry that he felt so much darkness that he was overwhelmed by it. He left behind two parents and a little sister who will never fully understand why he did this, and so many countless friends and old classmates who are left stunned and saddened by his loss. The world lost a wonderful young man, far too soon. Rest in peace Josh. You will be missed.
