Around 20 minutes ago, I was informed that the belongings of one of my closest friends was found on the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco.

I took him for granted. So mostly I feel guilt, like shit, but then again i'm still in shock. It's just so unbelievable.

It's just a sad fact that we sometimes don't appreciate people until they're gone. It's not something to feel guilt about babe. It just is. I'm really sorry for both you and him though beautiful.

Someone very close to me suffers from Asperger's Syndrome, or so we suspect (it has never been confirmed). I know what it's like to witness someone with so much talent yet seem so uncomfortable in their own skin. I know what it's like when I've thought they had gone.

I can't say anything to ease what you are feeling, but I can say that you are not alone.

He set this into motion with the same detailed planning that he implemented with everything else in his life. Structured, meticulous, sterile. It's especially difficult for his family, who now have to plan a funeral without a body, for a son who was always emotionally detatched from them.

Thank you for your words. xx

I know you don't know me that well, but if you need to talk to someone who knows what this is like I'm on msn (invader_kitty@hotmail.com) or send me an email and I'll give you my phone number.

This too shall pass.
