So, this is more over a sadder blog post than I've done, but I found out that a friend of mine (we weren't the closest of friends, but he was part of my orchestra, so he's like family) commited suicude. Now, before you start saying I'm sorry or I hope you're alright, I want to point out that this is not what I'm wanting.

Always smile to people, give a good ear, and be respectful. You never know what someone is feeling. Even if they seem to be the happiest person in the world, they can still be broken. Don't take for granted on what you ca say to someone, be careful and if they stop laughing, stop joking because you probably said something. Be nice, love, and caring

Sorry for this sad post, I just wish people didn't have to think that killing themselves is the only way. Open up and be nice, you'll be surprised on what you can do.
