There are no words.
I'm not sure if anyone from my junior school even reads my journal but I'll keep this link open anyway just in case but even so.
I found out today that a school friend of mine hung himself at a local park a few days ago.
Paul Owen.
Well I don't really remember him much...he hung out with someone who used to bully me when I was younger. it was back when I must have been 7 or 8. The only real clear memory of school I have of him is when he started picking on me I revolted and smacked his head up against a wall to make him stop.
He wasn't a bad kid, he was just mixed up in a bad crowd at school I think. And a couple of years later when I worked at the cinema in Scunthorpe he worked as one of our security guys and he apologised for being such a jerk to me at school which I thought was such a lovely sentiment and we talked whenever he came in to check if everything was okay in the cinema.
I'm saddened. I wish I knew what happened to make him feel like there was no way out you know? I've always threatened that I'd go through with something like this but when something like this happens to someone close to you it takes things in a different perspective doesn't it?
You don't realise how precious life is until it's taken away.
He's in a better place now.
R.I.P Paul.
I'll always remember you for being a man and apologising for what you did rather than sneer at me on the high street because you knew what you did to me then. Thankyou for being a man, a friend and my thoughts and prayers go out towards your friends and family.
