This is both beautiful and tragic at the same time. I offer my condolences.

I've never had a friend who ended like this (although there have been some pretty close calls) before but I've seen the kind of effect it has on the people who are left behind. I don't have much advice to offer since judging from the comments here, you seem pretty well adjusted to the situation. But I know how it feels when someone you were really close with passes away. if you feel like venting or talking about it just send me a note and I'll try my best to reply asap.

Thank you so much for the nice words fuan-chii! QAQ

I'm glad the people who were close to committing suicide have ultimately decided against it, it's the kind of thing that really leaves a big impact on the people who are left behind. Although I'm coping well with this it still hurts a lot, I can honestly say he was my only close friend with whom I kept in touch, the rest of the people I call friends are more like acquaintances, can't say I could trust my life to them or anything xD There's this big void I have in me which will be pretty difficult to fill in agai, at least that's how I feel atm. I guess the one thing that helps me move on is knowing that in the end he is in a better place, and that this is the only way he could've found peace and quiet.

Sorry about the vent, I'm not looking for sympathies or anything like that, I just felt like writing out my thoughts a bit ;u; Thank you again for the kind words, I appreciate it!

losing someone you were close to really does make it feel like finding new friends is the hardest thing. I felt the same way when my dad died because of cancer back in 2012. I barely made effort to talk and socialize with new people, but somehow I slowly opened up and now I have a really nice circle of friends who I really love and trust. these things don't happen overnight but I'm sure you'll eventually find a new friend or two so you don't end up feeling lonely without him. You're a nice kid as far as i know so it should be a piece of cake for you ^^

occasional venting is OK, IMHO. Its a lot better than just keeping negative feels to yourself all the time.

oh my, I'm so sorry to hear that D: The pain you went through must've been way more intense than mine, there's nothing more important than family after all.
It's nice that you now have friends with whom you get along well, you're also a super nice person so you deserve it ^-^ As for me, I'll get by somehow : D I can't complain about my life though, I have a wonderful family and a sister that I get along with perfectly, so it's not like I feel completely alone in this world haha

i wish you the best, dear <3

thank you so much! what pets do you own if I may ask? ^-^

And I'm quite alright, I guess the rational side of me has won over my sensitive one, I'm aware that crying won't bring him back nor would it do me any good. All I can do now is treasure the memories I have with him as best as possible (: 

and best regards to you too!

I'm so glad you're doing alright. death is hard to accept, and i'm very happy that you've done that and treasured your time with him.

I live on a farm, so I have ducks, rabbits, hedgehogs, a dog, fish...
recently an abandoned duckling we saved died of viral hepatitis (lungs hurt and day-long seizures, so at least he doesn't hurt anymore <3), and it's been tough to accept--so he's what i had referenced, haha. it seems a bit silly that i still cry over him and you had your closest friend die, but you can move on.
you're very strong and wonderful. thank you for sharing this and your beautiful art with us <3

oh my, your words are too kind ;A;

and aww poor ducky Q^Q it's fine for you to cry, as long as you don't get hung up on it for too long. We all have different ways of coping with these sort of situations, and it takes us different amounts of time to heal up and move on. The only thing to remember is that sooner or later we have to move on and live our lives.
Also living on a farm sounds amazing *o* I find animals to be better company than people quite a lot of times xD though I'm sure you have a lot of farm work to do as well :/ my friends who live in the countryside always complain about that haha

my condolences... that poetry was beautiful. I'm sure if he were to see it, he would be honored to know you went to such an effort for him. 

I hope you're feeling ok... <3

Thank you,glad you think so!
I am alright, it is actually more than a month since the unfortunate event and I've been slowly accepting the reality of the situation. I felt however compelled to draw a little something for him, because I had promised him several times that I'd draw a gift art for him yet I never managed to keep my word while he was still alive. I feel much better now that I did it ^^ 

Thanks again for the kind words

You're welcome.
That's good to hear! Unfortunately accepting is the only thing you can do but I'm happy to see it hasn't got you down too much ^^ 
I know what you mean. I'm sure he knew you'd do it eventually... its the thought that counts, right? :')

No problem, my pleasure ;w;
