Again? :/
And yet again, another teenage death. Well the guy who tried to commit suicide didn't succeed thank god, but he's still not doing the best. But I actually knew the girl this time. I took dance with her and her younger sister when I was in fifth grade. I didn't realize it until I saw a picture on her Facebook of when she was a little girl.
I feel it every time something happens to a teenager, something inside of me just aches for them, because I relate it to myself. I think about how much life I have ahead of me, how much I'm looking forward to college, and then starting a career and eventually starting a family. <3 I think about how they'll never live to experience any of those things.
I was talking to somebody about the accident, and he said "it's sad, but it was their own fault." I couldn't find the words to explain how I felt at that moment. "it was their fault." sure, it wasn't the smartest decision, but saying that's not going to change anything. It's not going to change the fact that our community has lost yet another teen and 2 others are in critical condition. It doesn't change anything.
I cry every time I hear about something like this, regardless if I know them or not. With everything that's been happening lately, I just want you to know, I love you all. And please please please, for the love of god, be safe. <3
Sincerely,
This would happen

Why?
Last night, one of my best friend's friend tried to commit suicide. He tried to shoot himself. I was bawling my eyes out, and I don't even know the poor kid. All I could think about was, what's so bad in your life that you think killing yourself is the answer? It just breaks my heart hearing about teen suicide. I cry every.single.time. You have so much to live for, you're not getting rid of the pain, you're passing it on to those that love you.
I kept refreshing his Facebook wall, seeing everybody's support and prayers for him to make it through. Everybody, even people that don't know him, had him in their prayers. The power of prayer. <3
But this morning during work study, I couldn't get it off my mind; it's all I could think about. I kept thinking about how hard it would be to lose someone, especially somebody your age, because they felt there was no other way out. And what if you could have done something, but you didn't? These are the questions that haunt me when something happens like this.
I checked Facebook during a break, and I read that he got out of surgery and was alive and breathing. Thank you God, for hearing our prayers and saving someone who has so much life ahead of him. I truly do believe in the power of prayer. <3
