So I've been sitting here for about 20 minutes, staring at this blank page, trying to write about it. IT. My friend Brandon Young committed sucicide last Monday, the 7th of February. Brandon lived down the hall from me last year. He was always there when you needed someone to talk to. He always knew how to make you feel better about whatever

if you ever need a hug come up and get one...

and the counseling center here is really amazing if you decide that's what you need.

and thank you for writing this. I knew him through people...so, thank you for helping me to get a better picture of him...

oh man Kelly. I don't even know what to say, because you said it already. Brandon was so amazing, and he was always putting my life into new perspective. I think I knew a slightly different Brandon than most people, because we had serious talks all the time. I mean, we were also goofy a lot, but mostly close through seriousness. and there he goes again, putting my life into perspective for the last time. it just makes me realize how much people who you don't think you even think about that much can be a role model to you.

it makes me think about my other friends. other people that I don't know that I care that much about. and really, there are a lot of people here, including you, and for sure BY, who have changed me and my outlook on the world. I just miss him so much. and its just so horribly real now. ok, I'm out.
