last friday i was working (btw i work at pure gelato on elgin) i was informed that one of my friends had passed. i didnt believe it... until after my shift i called a few friends up and found otu it was true... it destroyed me.. i was in shock and in pain.... my friend who had passed was named martin. he was in Loas at the time of his death.... he was suffering from an infection and was given antibiotics. additonally he was taking anti depresseants and decided to go out drinking.. he left the bar and went to his guesthouse to sleep. he never woke up.

i miss him so much and im incredibly sad....
i met him in highschool and we instantly became friends...
i used to go to his house nearly every lunch hour and make us sandwichs.
we both attended raves
and shared a common taste in music
we talked about life
we talked about suffering from depression, he was teh frist person i felt comfortable confiding in

we still kept in touch after highschool, i last spoke to him while i was in India.
We were going to meet there, but i fell ill and was forced to return home early and was unable to meet with him.
we talked about how travelling to south asia.. was very enlightenting and inspirational.. so much that we decided to instill our newly found morals, beliefs and values when we returned to north america...
even though he wasnt with me... we both could relate to the greatness and enlightenment eeach of us felt.
we both struggled with depression
we both felt lost at times
and he we were in the same contenent miles away from home
sharing the same experience.
i was so happy for him as he was for me

rest in peace martin... i miss you so much and love you a great deal.. your amazing soul will not be forgotten and will always be with me..
