A lot of the people I grew up with are dead now. It's not insignificant either, it's like half my friends. :yea:

I'm in my 20s. Drugs, depression, car wrecks (social murder) killed them.

If I ever lose my SO the capitalists will know. Pretty much the only bright spot in my life. All these young people filled with hopes, dreams, and a promising future died for nothing. I won't let it be for nothing at least for my SO.

So sorry about your loss. Maybe instead of making another (hopefully not) death count some time in a potential future, you might find strength and peace sooner by making life count in the meantime and in honor of those who have passed. Whatever that might mean for you personally. Wish you the best

My childhood friend I had a falling out with died in 2016 from a heroin overdose. Most people I graduated with are barely getting by. No one I know has actually "made" something of themselves, just subsistence living. Millennial btw.
