The Fragility of Life

A person I was well acquainted with killed themselves so I’m pretty bummed right now. What bothers me is  - if someone as tenacious as this person could end their life - what hope is there for fragile beings such as myself? I’m not clinically depressed but I tend to think and react in extremes and I never want this to be my fate.

I’m going to rearrange my closet and ponder this unfortunate scenario. I’m not feeling that optimistic about my own life so maybe if I clean I can take my mind off my own issues.

  1. Stil, I know the thought of the suicide of a true scrapper is disheartening, but I have to ask: are we SURE it was suicide?

  2. The gov’t murdered her!

  3. I am sorry Stil.

  4. You know, it wouldn’t surprise me at all. It would take more balls than I thought they had in them, though.

    Take care of yourself and remember that your friends are with you.

  5. Some friends of mine knew her too. From everything I hear, she wasn’t really a likable soul, but that doesn’t justfiy why she was singled out for persecution.

  6. Some people’s souls are so wounded and irreparably damaged that they can’ t see beyond themselves.

  7. Actually, I meant that as a comment to your post about your mother.

    As to this post, I’m not buying the suicide. Too convenient.

  8. “Some people’s souls are so wounded and irreparably damaged that they can’ t see beyond themselves.”

    That sentiment works just as well here.

    Did you read the suicide notes on The Smoking Gun? Looks like she did it.
