Hey guys, I know it's been a while. I'm sorry, this isn't an update, but I would, however, appreciate it if you gave a little of your precious time to read this. It won't take too long, promise.
Suicide is not a joke. It is not meant to be taken lightly, it is a horrible reality. When someone says they're going to commit suicide, no matter how much they threaten to do it, please give them a little of your time and tell them that killing themselves isn't the answer.
This is what happened to one of my oldest friends today. His parents were very strict with him, they were callous with their words and they brought him down at every possible opportunity. He was a brilliant singer and music writer. He had been saying again and again that he was thinking about it, I did everything I could and so did every single one of his friends to make sure he knew that he was loved. Things were finally starting to look better. Then last night, one mutual friend grew impatient and told him to just do it and to stop whining. He did. He downed half a bottle of sleeping pills and texted me that he was grateful for having me as a friend and that he loved me. He asked me not to forget him.
Please, if you're reading this, know that life is precious. It is a crime to waste it. It is a crime to not save it. It hurts so much to have to speak about him in past tense. So this one is for Julius Agosto. I love you too, bro. Thank you for some of the most amazing experiences of my life. I am proud to have known you. I hope you're better now and trust me when I say that I will never forget you.
And thank you if you took the time to read this. Please remember that life is precious and suicide or self-harm is never the way. I'm here if anyone needs anybody to talk to! :)
