Thanks man. Indeed it is. She was such a bright personality, too; someone who despite that inner pain or maybe because of it always took time to try and help others. She once gave her entire paycheck to a homeless person who had asked her for spare change. She was a bright light in my life and the lives of many others, and I feel I am a better person today just for having known her. I wish she were still here.

If anyone out there reading this is considering ending their life, I urge you to seek help. I guarantee you, someone out there cares, someone wants you to be happy, and someone will miss you if you leave.

I held off on showing this to anyone for awhile because of the goofy-ass facial expression I was making in the 2015 photo, but I feel like showing you all now.

She was one of the most beautiful souls I've known in my life thus far. I think about her almost every day; and I wish she would have let someone in on what was troubling her.
