God,what a sad story.:( “In a striking display of the power of live video,” NewTeeVee tells us,“Abraham K.Biggs committed suicide on Wednesday while broadcasting himself on video site Justin.tv.” The 19-year-old little black kid,Biggs,left a suicide note in which he says he hates himself and hates living.“I am in love with a girl and I know that I am not good enough for her,” he explains.He says a bunch more; you can read the full suicide note if you’re into that.
I’m not surprised someone would kill themselves on live-stream video.Public suicides are not uncommon; Brandon Vedas (a.k.a.“I told u I was hardcore” ripper) comes to mind,and Wikipedia has a whole section about filmed suicides.But,I guess the Biggs story really touches me for a couple reasons.First one?He was sooooo young.:( Age 19 seems like ages ago.God,the pains,desires,wishes and dreams I had back then have grown into different things now.Seriously.When I close my eyes and try to picture the guy I dated in my teens,I can see his dark hair and pudgy chin but I really struggle to remember what his face looks like.Shit,I don’t even know where the guy lives now.That aside,the other thing that’s so sad (to me) about Biggs’ death is this:In his final note,he talks at length about his love for his family & the relationships around him — even in the midst of sheer hatred for himself.“The only thing I dread,besides the pain,is the way my family will suffer.I do not want my mother or father to think that it was anything they did that lead me to kill myself,” he wrote.“I love you all and will forever live within the memories we created.Forgive me.Love always and forever [...]” I can’t even imagine the sadness those who know him probably feel.:( Though I don’t have children of my own,I’m the auntie of two beautifully brown nephews I love so fucking dearly it’s ridiculous.My heart goes out to Abraham’s loved ones and those who knew him.
To end this post on a positive note ( … because it’s Friday and because Funky Brown Chick is a space for positive things … ),I wanna send a shout out to Jamy from the blog Grateful Dating.“Keeping a gratitude journal is supposed to increase happiness.I find something to be grateful for every day,which is harder than it sounds,” Jamy explains.“I’ve been doing this for a while,and I have to tell you,I think it’s working.” Online,I love my readers and I’m grateful for the people who take time out of their busy days to stop by my site and see what I wrote.I’m happy I’ve got a solid group of friends in New York and elsewhere.I’m utterly thankful my family supports the decisions I’ve made in life — even though they disagree and/or don’t understand most of them.Though we’re taking it slow and seeing where things may lead,at the moment I’m thankful for that boy (who’s never mentioned on the blog) who comes from that place and gives good kisses; like everyone,I can be neurotic and overthink things when I’m dating,but I’m looking forward to seeing & spending time with him on Saturday,too.I could go on,but this post has been long enough.Happy Friday everyone.Feel free to use the comments section to answer this question:What are you grateful for?
