its okay to not be okay

so, our town has been hit by a bout of sadness. a girl, who was 18, hit a icy patch, and the nub and gist of it, she didnt make it. 
and yes, doing the math, i am also 18. i did know her. not extremely well, we went to different schools, but a couple of my close friends were close friends with her. so we've hung out before, she was on my soccer team when we were little, and we'd be in the same room every now and then. 
i can't imagine being one of her very close friends right now, or even her family. my thoughts and prayers go out to them, for sure. 
I didn't know her well enough to feel comfortable doing anything. like, making my facebook status 'rip' or 'the good die young' or anything like that. 
i just want her friends to know that if they need someone to cry to, i am here. 
i will listen, cry with you, stay strong for you, pray with you. whatever you need at the time. 
i will buy you chocolate and watch a girly movie with you, or anything. 
im so proud of everyone who is going through this, their group of friends has really banded together, and i'm sure that's what she would've wanted. from what i knew of her, she wanted everyone to have fun and be happy. and seeing all of her friends get together and reminisce about the good, the bad, and the ugly, must be a very beautiful thing for her. so don't give up hope, don't give up anything. just try and remember what she would've wanted.


♥
rest in peace.
