A really close friend of mine that I've known for almost ten years passed away yesterday..... I always knew life could be unfair sometimes, but I'd never even think that something like this would happen. He was only 19. I practically watched him grow up. And worst of all, it wasn't even a peaceful death. Supposedly he had been hazed by his fraternity and he ended up dying from a stupid initiation process... This all could have been avoided if people weren't so stupid. He was one of the happiest and nicest people I've ever known in my life and he had the rest of his life ahead of him and it was all taken away because of a stupid thing like this. It's even worse because he's all over the news now and people are gossipping about it and it's just not okay that this had to happen this way, let alone at all. 

It's just really hard and I don't know how we're all supposed to get through this... We're all just stupid college kids trying to make something of ourselves. We're supposed to be having the time of our lives, not losing them... I just, I can't even explain how much it hurts knowing I'll never see him again. It doesn't feel real. These kinds of things don't happen to good kids. They just shouldn't happen at all. But of course, that's just not how the world works. 

I know we'll all somehow get through this, but the beginning is always the hardest part. I'm trying to keep my head up because I know that's what he would want, but sometimes all you can do is cry and bear through it. 

Sorry if I'm being depressing, but I just needed to let some feelings out somehow since I'm not necessarily the best with words. 

I hope you all know that I genuinely care about all of you and hope you never have to go through such pain... And make sure you let the ones you love know that you love and care for them because tomorrow is never promised.
