I'm so upset that I even have to *write* a post like this. Recently, on August 24th, an incoming freshman, Alexa (I'm not saying her last name here), committed suicide. I didn't really know her, but I'd spoken to her a few times when we were in a school play together. Alexa had a lot of talent, and she was always friendly and upbeat. She was kind to everyone. I don't think I'd ever seen her without a smile on her face. Alexa was really going to go places. It's a wretched feeling to know that someone so kind and wonderful, could commit such a horrible act. I'm still in shock. I can't help but think that if I had made an effort to become friends with her, if I had done something, *anything* differently, she would still be here today. I wonder if she can hear us, our thoughts or anything. If she can, then she'll know that she is in my thoughts, although she probably doesn't even remember me. Alexa, her family, and her friends are all in my thoughts. Alexa, I wish you an eternity of happiness. I hope wherever you are now makes you happier, and I'm truely sorry that you had to go this way. You were destined for great things.
Rest In Peace, Alexa.
