Weird Nights...

[weswilson]

Found out a guy I see regularly hung himself in his house today...

I'm not quite sure why it's affecting me... perhaps I'm just tired of seeing people be sad... perhaps I just don't understand how people can hurt the people closest to them with irresponsible behavior... perhaps I'm just tired of death and dispair...

I thought a lot about the people I love tonight... and how far I'd got to keep them from hurting. Some time this week, I'm going to write The Nice Guy Manifesto to dispell some misconceptions about what it takes to "be there" for people...

Life really isn't as hard as it seems, sometimes.

It is disturbing when someone you know chooses to end their life. I remember the multitude of emotions I felt when i found out that one of my former college roommates had done the same thing.

I didn't know him that well, so it's only a superficial hit. He did offer to help me with my haunt... he did make it a point to ALWAYS say hi to me when he saw me. I know I didn't give him as much attention as he gave me, and I can only hope that he found what he was looking for.

Wes, you have always given the attention people needed. I know he appreciated you just saying hi back to him. I wish I could have know what he was looking for and helped him find it here instead of using the option he took.
