OK, so that's Maynard and Gonzy - anyone else wanna join in?
I used to be extremely introverted, and still think I am to an extent. I wish I could've been more outgoing as a child, I might have enjoyed life a lot more.
As morbid as it may sound, I think my dad passing away when I was 19 turned out to be a good thing for me. I did a lot of growing up a lot sooner than I probably would have, and I think it made me a better person today.
I also contemplated suicide once, again, when my dad passed away. I was in a serious depression for at least 9 months. My best friend managed to help pull me out of my slump and pretty much saved my life. I look at him as the brother I never had, or the one that was taken away from me (I had a brother who died when I was 5. I have had a lot of death in my family).
