The other day I learned that a childhood friend shot and killed himself. I had lost touch with him since graduating and leaving Hardin County. Honestly, I probably didn’t have a whole lot to do with him during high school either. We ran in different circles and I had my head up my boyfriend’s ass all through high school. I always thought he was so cute, though. I remember him being so silly, too. In middle school, group of us would spend lunch in our English teacher’s classroom, playing cards and being silly.
I learned about it through Facebook. Some cryptic comments here and there got me suspicious and I kept checking Topix until someone asked and confirmed that he had shot himself. His obit says he was an NRA member.
I don’t know. The whole thing just makes me really fucking sad.
