[grasping_at_straws]

2 of my best friends, Jake when I was 24 and my other very close friend DW back in 2019.

Celebrity side I guess Vincent Vangogh. Overlooked in his time outa work artist who ended it over lack of love.

Kim Jonghyun

Alan Turing

 

[glad it’s night]

David Foster Wallace

 

[.............]

Yukiko Okada is someone whose suicide I think about often. She seemed to have a successful music career ahead of her, and she released great music that I still enjoy. I don't know what prompted her to kill herself at as young as 18, no one knows the real reason, but I hope what she did brought her peace.

 

[SuicidallyCurious]

Judas Iscariot

Judas was the real hero of the Bible

He sold out some schizoid madman whos ideas have been fucking us all in the ass for thousands of years just for a little bit of money .

I would have given Jesus up for free. That crazy guy deserved to be tortured for longer than he was

Kurt Cobain
Chris Cornell
Chester Bennington

[Hurt]

Avicii is not a musician!

He composed music. So. he's a musician.

 

[SuicidallyCurious]

He composed music. So. he's a musician.

I must admit when the news of his death broke I found it quite odd. My main question was "why do it in Oman?"

These desert like environments have a mystique about them. Personally I would prefer to die somewhere exotic but for me it's more boreal forest or luxury hotel

 

[Darkover]
