I’d like to pay tribute to my best friend who passed away to suicide 2 years ago, Ollie.
I like to remember Ollie in musicals specifically Hamilton and Heathers. He was 2 years older than me and lived across the country. He was such a goof ball always laughing and smiling, trying to make others laugh too. I wish I could’ve see the signs before it was too late.
Ollie passed away on 5/4/23. I remember that day like it was yesterday. (Ollie lived in a timezone 3 hours ahead of me) It was a cooler Thursday morning, I woke up at around 5 am, like any other day I got up to go to school. (For reference Ollie was homeschooled so he got up much later than I did) It was about 8:37 am when I got a message from his sister specifically saying that Ollie hung himself. It felt like my entire world around me collapsed and I felt guilty for not realizing what he was suffering with for so long. 2023 was when I really spiraled and I lost my best friend he will always be my best friend no matter what. His nickname he would call me was Melly. I spend everyday missing him and wishing I could go back just to hear him laugh one last time.
Please don’t take your life it’s a catastrophic solution for a temporary problem. It will get better, people love and care about you dearly. Please hold on you will never know how much people care about you. I love you all /p and RIP Ollie
