R.I.P.

Got a bad news today... A secondary school friend of mine committed suicide.
It was shocking to hear that...
I was not very close with him, but a group of us went kayak and camping once before.
Have been hearing or reading many suicide cases these few days.
Is this a trend?
I heard that he was in depression for quite some time.
I do not understand what does it feel like to be in depression.
Even if I have been in depression also, it must be very mild one.
I thank God that He has seen me through.
I do not know how much courage it takes to make a decision such as this.
But if you have the courage to take this step, why not use the same courage to live on and fight?
I always believe that dawn comes after the darkest time of the night.
I do not know what caused his depression.
But on separate cases where people commit suicide because being dumped, that I really cannot understand.
I just pray that other people who have read about all these cases will not be influenced and think that suicide is a good way out of trouble and sorrow.
Life is worth-living. You will never know what you might find along the journey.
The most important thing is that God will never plan an obstacle that you cannot handle in your life. You can be weary, but don't ever give up!
No matter what, you can seek refuge and strength from the Mighty God who knows your name even before you were born.
Honestly, I am still kind of in shock and feeling heavy for my friend's death.
Rest in peace, bro....
