death,

Yesterday, someone from school passed away.

I don't know her personally, so I didn't know what she was going through. With me being the busybody that I am, I went to read her tumblr and found out how much she was struggling inside and how hard of a time she had trying to cope with everything that was going on.

As much as my heart goes out to her, I feel that her decision to commit suicide was extremely irresponsible.

I'm not being heartless. I just can't help but wonder how someone can choose to leave this world, knowing that everyone she's leaving behind will have to cope with losing her so suddenly. How can you possibly allow people whom you claim to love, to possibly feel so much pain?

You're only 18, and you had such a long way to go. But you chose to end your own pain, in exchange for a lifetime of grief for your family and friends. One does not simply do such things to people that you love and care about.

Nonetheless, rest in peace, and I hope you're happier up there than you ever were here.
