Blemish
Fucking fucking suicide. I wrote one about my cousin Keith committing himself to death not so long ago and today I received another voicemail, also from my dad, telling me another person I know took himself. Kid was 16 years old. Erik Michael Thompson, what the fuck are you doing killing yourself before you even know what life is about?

That's seriously terrible man, I'm really sorry to hear that - it's crazy what kids are dealing with these days.
On a similarly morose note, I found out a guy I used to know in high school took his own life recently. Around the same time, the ex-boyfriend of a girl I knew also killed himself.
Shit is crazy, people need to learn to deal. It's been said, "Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem." Word.
Hope your trip is going well. Peace.
hi. i'm erik's cousin. i did a google search for his name, out of boredom i guess... a part of me still hopes to find something out there... a hidden message or something. something he would have left for me to find. but i stumbled upon your journal. and though i must say it is very blunt, i guess i agree. i feel a lot of anger, still. it's a very difficult thing to deal with, and to realize. his absence is still so strong. but i know that he wouldn't want us to dwell on it. it's awfully hard not to, but i'm trying, still, to live life without him.
i don't know what the point of this is, but i was surprised, finding this.
