I forgot I had even created a blog. When I accidently typed my name in the search spot (not great with tech names) my blog name came up.....so here I am. Today, it was meant to be. This has been a crazy week. Ups and downs, highs and lows. Lone Peak High School is being rocked to its very core, again! 1 Suicide and 7 (yes, SEVEN) attempts. One of them happened to be a friend of Liv's....someone who had confided in her. She was a wreck on Tuesday, distraught Wednesday, and very contemplative and verbal today. Kids are reacting and blaming. Their attempts to be noticed and attached to the situation have been interesting --- what is it about death, tragedy, suicide that makes us want to be a part of it? i.e.: I knew them. I was friends with them. He/she told me they were depressed. I think I am going to look into that, as in google it and do some reading. Most of it, if not all, is about love. Not feeling loved, not loving oneself. That seems like it should not be so difficult, but I know I still struggle with that as a 47 (almost 48) yr. old woman. Luckily, the struggle continues to shrink as my age grows!
