Truths:

  • My best friend in the world might be dead right now.
  • Last night he sent me a message saying “You’ve been a really good friend and I love you.” and then deleted his facebook.
  • His Storywrite is gone now too.
  • Our mutual friend thinks it’s his fault.
  • He might be right, but there are a million other reasons that Dinosaur would want to die.
  • It’s not the first time he’s tried.
  • I hope he fails.
  • I hope that, entirely because I love him and I’m selfish.
  • He has HIV, and was unhealthy even before he contracted it.
  • It may in all honesty be easiest for him to die on his own terms.
  • But I’m selfish.
  • And I love him.
  • So I don’t know which part of these feelings makes me better or worse.
  • Is it better to hope he’s alive, but know he’s going to continue to suffer?
  • Or is it better to accept his decision, and to let him go?
