among friends
today i was told that a friend of a friend had just killed himself. i worked with him while i was producing this record, which he played piano on. unconditionally friendly to me whenever i was around. he was extremely talented. it’s a disappointing loss.
i have very particular opinions about suicide and when it’s okay for the person to do. there are cases that justify and rationalize it. but it’s hard for me to believe that this was one of those cases. 23 is young. there is just no way to have foresight into how your life is going to play out when you’re a year out of college. every year of mine has been drastically different from the last. i have no pattern by which i can predict my future.
