My close friend died last week, by suicide. She was an epic motherfucker, parachute jumper fire artist BRC ranger entrepreneur photographer DJ traveler. She was gonna turn 31 this spring. Had dreams of buying a house and starting a family. Loved by so many, our community is devastated. There's a celebration of life next week and I will not be surprised if hundreds of people show up. Her work was intense, she was touring the world with a big artist for many years as part of the AV team making a really good salary. She was not political, we never even talked about it but she was trans and I can't imagine the current state of the world did not play a part in the dark moment that pushed her to make the decision that ended her life. I imagine we'll never know why. She had plans for the weekend, vacation in the south booked for this week and no note or prep that we know of. I will miss my friend more than I can express.
So sorry for your loss. That is far too early in life to decide it's time to go.
