Hi guys
It probably seems like I'm ignoring/avoiding all of you right now
Haven't read anyone's chapters in awhile, haven't responded to comments, haven't emailed or skyped you back... I'm sorry :(
It's been a really, really difficult few days for me since Wednesday. That was the day I found out one of my friends from my last college (which I transferred away from in December) committed suicide. So I've kind of been trying to deal with that and it's really horrible. Especially not being there. My friends who are still there have been telling me how supportive the whole campus community is being, and it just makes me want to go back (which is something I have not felt since leaving - so that's bizarre for me too).
Emily was amazing. She was incredibly kind, she really genuinely cared about every single person she met. She seriously helped so many people with their problems and struggles. She was one of the leaders of a mental health discussion group that I went to almost the whole time I was at that school (1.5 years). It absolutely kills me that she helped so, so many people, myself included, and no one was able to give her the help she needed in return. I wish I could thank her one more time for everything she did for me.
So I might be scarce for a little while, guys. (Though I may post the next chapter of the Atwoods, we will see) If I don't read your things or respond to your messages, please don't take it personally.
I might be driving down to my old school tomorrow to go to the support group (God that's going to be weird and wrong without her there) so hopefully that will help. I'll get back on here as soon as I can.
And please, please, please, hug the people you care about. Tell them how important they are to you. Tell them you love them, because you never know when it might be too late.
