This seems like the best place for this.
I just found out that someone I knew, my age, died. I saw that someone had written on his facebook wall "rip". From what I can tell, his personal problems pushed him over and I assume he committed suicide, though I can't confirm that. He was someone I worked with and that was the extent of the relationship. I hadn't seen him in a while, but he always was nice to me and fun to talk to. This is the first person even remotely close to me and my age that has died. I don't quite know what to make of it. Like I said, I didn't really know him and I hadn't seen him in a while, but it is still having a tremendous impact on me. I teared up reading his facebook wall. It is just a weird, kind of empty feeling. My thoughts go out to all of those that knew him much better than I did.
