Yes. Thank all my lucky stars for the friends I’ve made in the wired world, because they have always been there for me.
Last year, a girl I’ve known for more than a decade killed herself. It was shocking and unexpected, as these things are. We can guess at what triggered her misery in recent months but whatever tipped her over into that final night is beyond all of us. It’s a hard thing to deal with, to carry in your heart and your head. Whatever you are feeling right now - anger or sadness or numbness or whatever - I just want to tell you that it is totally okay to feel that like and for it to be all kinds of weird. You’re not doing it wrong. This sort of thing is just so fucked up that there isn’t any right way to deal with it.
