i cried.

i've been crying since i heard what happened, since i've discovered how much of an asshole i was back then (for what i so stupidly thought.) i've been crying, yeah, but when i saw that picture. that picture. ...that did it. that picture did it.

what really got me, though, what really fucking tore me apart, was that people, people who are surprisingly human, were leaving nasty, hateful, && hurtful comments. to be quite honest, im ashamed. im ashamed to be classified in the same category as them; as "human-beings." living creatures who are suppose to have a heart. who are suppose to be taught compassion && respect as a kid. maybe their mothers didnt teach them those things, but my mother did a damn good job at teaching me && i find it dispicable that others can talk nasty like that. i find it disgusting.

i know he's better off now, though. he doesnt have the pressure from all the expectationns. he doesnt have to deal with all the stress && hurtfulness this world contains. he can climb all the trees in the world now && have as many water balloon fights as he wants. he's safe now.

he's free.
