I never really knew you. At all. In fact... when we WERE classmates, I have to admit I could barely stand you half the time. You were an arrogant asshole. But I'll give you one thing, you were funny as hell (I was just a bitch most of the time.).

I'm sorry that you're gone. I'm sorry you felt you had to leave. Everyone who had a chance to go to school with you feels the loss of your life, you really did have an impact on all of us.

How and why did you manage to carry it out in the way you did? How much pain could you possibly have been in? How did you manage to seem so happy regardless of all of that? Admittedly, you hurt very many people with what you did...but that probably pales in comparison to what drove you to the act.

I'm sorry you will never get the chance to see that life has the chance to get better.

Goodbye, Cookie. I never knew you.
