This is the way the world ends. Not with a bang but a whimper.
Sandtrap messaged me some long-ass message when I was depressed. Telling me to keep my chin up and sort my life out. I didn't reply.

Idk if he saw my thread about kicking drugs and getting on medication, but I hope he did. And I wish I had replied to him, to let him know his efforts weren't in vain.

But now he's gone and isn't coming back. And it sucks.

Don't let what you didn't say become a regret. Just say it. I cried when I read Psy's post, and Challenger made a point about how we were often too lazy or dismissive to consider him. And many of us have been.

Yeah, I don't know where the fuck I was going with this post. But. . . Yeah.

I'll fucking miss him.

This is the full PM he sent me:

Quote
I know it's your own to choose but the fact that you show any kind of regret shows that you know you're going down the wrong road with drugs. I won't try to guilt trip you on this but I'll speak plainly because you're already doing it to yourself. You're wallowing in it.

You can give me any excuse about your drugs and I'll tell you why it's bullshit. I've seen and heard every last argument from people trying to come up with a reason to support their usage. The worst ones are those kids who say "Oh don't worry, I don't do heavy stuff." It catches up with them. Every time. Their tame shit fizzles out and then they're ready to try something new and then they're fucked.

You're headed there. Within 6 years if you keep going where you are now, you'll be trapped. This comes back to what I said. It's your call. You've got other stuff in your life weighing you down. I get that. Doesn't mean you can't man up to things and start taking control over your life before you don't have a choice anymore. This isn't a guilt trip. But I want you to think about it.

Rob, Melissa, Dylan, David, Reg, Caitlyn.

You don't know those people and you never will since they all died from their cancers. They didn't have a choice. If any of them could be alive, I'd bet my life that they wouldn't waste theirs.

I understand you. I get the self pity and the wallowing. You're smart enough to know that it's closing in around you and you feel like you don't have what's needed to escape it. You lack the will and the drive to pull yourself out of it on your own.

Get help. Try anything you can to pull yourself out of your hole. Don't sit around and watch yourself circle around that drain until you've gone too far. I'm telling you. It'll catch up to you. Maybe you want it to. I say that's a load of shit. You don't have any valid reason to want that kind of fate.

And now he'll never know just how much me improving my life is down to his words. How much of my motivation comes from him and the example he could set even over a forum.

He died without knowing his effort really did make a difference. Goddamn.

For what it's worth, we've had our difference but you're a pretty solid guy. I hope college works out for you and that you can leave all the miserable crap behind.
I wasn't speaking to offend you, it was just a crack about lawyers in general.

I disagree with many of your opinions, but I have a lot of respect for you.
I do remember one time I spent a long time joking about europoor education, but I was just trying to get a rise.

If I'm not here, I'm doing photography. Or I'm asleep. Or in lockdown. One of those three, anyway.

The current titlebar/avatar setup is just normal.
It was an odd day today. After reading the sad news this morning, my housemate found out his Granddad had passed away in the afternoon. There was some small conciliation to this as he had gone to visit him only a few days beforehand.

I'm not the most well known, liked or even that interesting a person, but I hope the lot of you know that you make this place a uniquely interesting forum to visit every day or so, and I'm happy to be a part of it.

Now, I'm going back to contain my feelings before I vomit over how sickly that reads back to me. Carry on.

For me, I can't help but regret. He seemed to be the only person I could possibly relate to. He did not admonish, or ever try to empathize; he understood who I was and told me how he got through it himself. All of his pain mirrored mine  and he offered a way out. And yet I didn't listen.

I haven't cried since my father's death, but I did for him. He was a good man that could have saved me, but my ignorance and inaction has put me in a hard place. He was a bastion of wisdom, my favourite poster, and I will honestly dearly miss him.

Flee, you help keep this site going, and I have always been struck by your intelligence and reasoned approach to issues. You have emy respect and thanks for being a mod here.

Challenger, your humor helps keep this community alive. You are truly a keystone member, and your wit has amused me many times. Thanks for being here.


I've always enjoyed conversing with you here, and I enjoy hearing your thoughts on things. I definitely enjoy having you around.


You seem to have dealt with a great deal of stress and challenges in your life, and I hope that things go well for you from this point on. I've greatly enjoyed talking with you on Discord.

For real though. One of my biggest regrets is not being the guy to text one of my oldest friends the night he decided to kill himself last year, even just asking how he's been. A lot of people view adulthood as a time when old friends part ways and are never heard from again, but that doesn't have to be the case. Letting others fall out of your life is a choice you don't have to make.

I feel like my adversities have been a drop in the bucket compared to what is coming in the future, and it seems unfair to gripe about them when other people, people I know, have been through so much more.

I hope you get what you want out of life.
Your talent is growing everyday, I see that. And I can only assume all things you do grow with such intricate bliss. But what already have, whether you know it or not, is vision. The most important thing anybody can have is a vision.

But my vision is shifting, and I play it off like it was absolute. A beautiful lie, to make things seem like I never made compromise, and to make it seem like everything was just, well...

Part of some smooth plan.

We knew the world would not be the same.
A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent.
I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita.
Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty
and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says,
"Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.."
I suppose we all thought that one way or another.
Sandtrap did more for me than I ever deserved.

That seems to be a running theme in his relationships with people.

It's a shame that light has gone out.

The biggest shared guilt from what I've seen is struggling with knowing how to respond. He used to send me daily messages when I was going through the rougher parts of my life. Every single day for a while, even if I didn't respond. He wrote these poems and I thought it was the oddest thing, but all he wanted was to make me smile. He always gave updates on his health, be it the steep drops or the slight improvements. He talked a lot about death, and it was uncomfortable. The things he described were just so profoundly depressing that anything you'd try to say would just feel hollow. I tried expressing this sentiment to him a few times, told him how I felt like a genuinely bad person for not knowing how to respond. In his usual gracious demeanor he'd say things like:

A bad person would be the man who stepped into a car intoxicated when they knew damn well what can and will happen when you drive drunk.

Your absence of words doesn't make you a bad person. No words, however thoughtful or well meaning, can ever fix the hole of the absence of the person I knew.

But I can appreciate both. The well meant words of somebody trying to help, and the silence of somebody who doesn't know what to say, and chooses not to speak in hollow words.

He knew I used to draw a lot, and I promised I'd make him something after he did that crowd funding thing for me. But I never did it because I lost my artistic energy. Started a few times, barely got anywhere. He told me he didn't mind waiting because he knew that whatever I eventually came up with would be a "work of art", and all I did was push it aside. Even while he was still around I always felt guilt when we'd catch back up, because I felt like I failed.

Then there's the people who made me doubt whether or not his conditions were even real. The fact that I even doubted him after everything he did makes me feel horrible, even if I was scammed by other people, even if plenty of other people on the internet have faked illness and death for attention. Quin gave a lot of us his fucking heart and soul and I had the audacity to start to question if he was faking it or not. Even though I wasn't questioning it that much, the fact that I acknowledged in posts that I wasn't sure and that he probably read it makes me feel a bit queasy.

I really thought he had more time. I really did.
If nothing else, I'm just glad he's not suffering anymore.

Turkey, you've always struck me as highly intelligent, and an extremely nice guy. I find your perspective on things to be interesting, and respect your non-combative, friendly attitude towards others. I wish that you and I were more well-acquainted than we are.

Also your choice in avatars has always been on-point.


Meta, I hadn't been following your threads on your life, and when I read about the state things were in, I was surprised, and saddened by, your predicament. Similarly, I was very happy to hear that things have started getting better. Your posts have always been very intelligent and well-worded, and I think Sep7agon's discussions would suffer greatly in your absence.

It's honestly kind of heartwarming seeing how much an indivudial member has impacted all of you. I honestly didn't think I'd see something like this on the Sep7agon.
