My cousin died today. To suicide. I never knew he was in so much pain. We weren't as close as we should've been. I regret it so much. I wish I could have helped him. I wish I could have done something.

Today

I still miss him more than anything. I miss seeing him at family reunions. I miss him more everyday.

Girls in my grade always joke about suicide.

"Ugh, if I don't pass this test, I'll kill myself."

Me: "You will? In that case, maybe I should call someone."

Girl: "Oh no, I'm just joking."

If only they knew. If only they understood. Maybe then they would realize how serious it was.

Wishful thinking.

I miss you, Justice.
