Venting

Another person who I spoke to before and was friends with has passed away from self harm.

This is the second time someone that I've interacted with and genuinely had a place in my life has taken their own life.

It's scary to see. Scary to look back on our old messages together, it wrenches my heart. He designed a special tattoo just for me and its gone. Its deleted with his accounts that he deleted shortly before taking his own life.

I debate on getting a tattoo in his honor. I don't want to pity myself and I dont want to think I made a huge difference in his life (I know I didn't... We werent close). But it's still insane to me that this is THE SECOND TIME someone that I knew and interacted with, someone I even fangirled over, has taken their life.

I genuinely do not want to make this about me. This is about mental health awareness and the tragic loss of life. RIP.
