RIP Krie

Krie, from Perth Australia, tragically took his own life this week. My sympathy and condolences go out to his friends and family.

I don't know what took Krie to that irrevocable decision, but I do know that life is very hard at times and many of us have days that don't seem worth going through. It's important to remember then that life can also become good again, even suddenly good. We all need someone to talk to at those desperate times.

Depression is contageous and often fatal. Treat it agressively in yourself and your friends. Change is a good place to start. Don't let situations around you make your decisions for you, ever. You always have choices, so make some. You're worth it.
