RIP Karl Yingling
I can't believe Karl's dead. How is it possible that someone so free and happy has to be gone? This world is awful and dark enough as it is and it just got a lot dimmer. I feel awful for not staying in touch with me even when he reached out to me and now it's so much worse knowing I won't be able to return his phone call. The last I heard of him he was trying to turn things around and go to school. Fuck, man, we went to the same goddamn school and I didn't see or talk to him! Chris and I used to hang out with him all the time and I just didn't keep up because of just stupid distractions. I'm so sad that he's dead. At least I have a great memory of meeting him in Princeton for an open mic a couple of years ago. He never judged and was also so sweet and his handsome smile was also so contagious, even to the sad lil goth girl that I was. How fucking awful... really, it's fucking terrible. I just.. I don't know. I wish I had the time to appreciate everyone that's in my life. I wish I had the ability to let everyone I know that I absolutely care about them and wish I could spend more time with them. Forgetting about people just isn't an option when you encounter this...
Someone very wise just told me this and it's the only thing that makes sense right now: "that's the thing, though. good people come to this world, make it better, and leave it when their work is done." -Caryn
