But I came home in a funky mood and I haven't been able to shake it. I found out on Sunday that someone from college had overdosed and died on Friday. He was there for me during a real rough patch in my life. I'm almost afraid to think of where I might have ended up without his smile and friendship. I adored him, though I'm sad to say that I'd lost track of him over the years. Turns out, he'd been diagnosed as bipolar - which actually explains a lot - about a decade ago and had been struggling to get it fixed in all this time. He'd spent a lot of the last year in the hospital because of it. The entire thing makes me so sad, because I have no idea if he ever realized just how important he was to me. I hope he did. The world is a lesser place for his not being in it.
