So. This post is definitely on the somber side of things. A guy who I went to high school with recently passed away. I am not 100% sure of his cause of death, but after doing some detective work, it looks like he took his own life. This really makes me think a lot more about life and how easily it can be taken, and the effect it has on people. It also makes you think about how truly precious life is. I mean, you hear about people on the news daily who pass away all the time, and you don't really stop to think about what it's doing to people. But when it's somebody you know, it just becomes way more personal and it hits you like a ton of bricks. And people are always joking of "OMG I'M GONNA KILL MYSELF!!!" or "SHOOT ME NOW!" and sayings like that (I will admit that I'm guilty of it), but you don't realize how serious it is until someone actually does it. I can't really say that I knew the guy too well, but I knew who he was. I remember meeting Paul in 6th grade. I remember him being a funny dude. That never changed. I believe I was in English class with him too in high school, but my memory could be fooling me. Nonetheless, he was a great person and he will be missed by all who knew him or knew who he was.
RIP Paul
