Quite a heavy post this morning.
I heard yesterday that a good friend of mine, someone who I worked with and talked to almost daily for 5 and a half years, took his own life.
It was so shocking to me that I fell to the floor when I heard the news.
I’m blown away, as I always knew he struggled with mental health issues – he was open about that.
But I never in a million years would have thought it would turn into him taking his own life.
I don’t necessarily have a point with this post, other than every single f*cking minute on this earth is precious.
Not only for our own sakes, but every single minute with someone you love, as well.
There is no telling what someone is going through.
It’s impossible to fully understand what anyone is going through at any given time.
We can’t read minds, we can’t feel their feelings or think their thoughts.
But we can listen, seek to understand, offer support, and reach out.
My heart hurts for my friend, his family, and his loved ones.
You will be missed brother.
