Again I'm just going to copy/paste from dA

Yesterday my school was put on lock down around 7:50 in the morning. I was heading to the theater with some other band members because we had to go get some of the cables and other things we left from our concert the night before and once the shooter alarm went off we all ran back to the band room and the teacher locked us all in. After about ten minutes the campus was cleared and we went back to the theater. The majority of us were sitting down in the seats while some of the guys moved a drum set stage we put up for the drummers when one of the kids started coming around to us saying someone shot themselves in front of the public library attached to my school.
I was horrified, the idea of anyone committing suicide hurts me. After a few minutes all the other kids started talking and two girls sitting behind me said they passed the car and it had a bunch of blinds all over the windows, and that it was red. I instantly started thinking about all my friends and made sure I saw them all that morning, which I did, so I ruled out it being someone I know. After the things were cleaned off the stage my teacher had us all sit down in the seats while he was still on the stage and told us the person who committed suicide was a county library worker.
I held my breath instantly because I had a feeling I knew who the person was now, it was the nicest librarian I will probably ever know.
When I moved down to this hell hole in eighth grade she was the first person to greet my mom, brother, and me and make us feel welcome here. We use to go to the library there every day after school because we had no internet on our computer. Every day we showed up she would talk to us and make us feel better about the place we had come to. She always let my mom know when there was a job opening somewhere and tried to help her get a job. I even lost my library card from where I use to live and she replaced it for free because we didn't have the money to waste on replacing it.
It turns out she had been fired the day before. Her family had been going through problems, her husband was sick, her brother in jail, some of her grand kids were living with her, and she was their only source of income at the moment.
I dont know why she was fired, she was one of the kindest people I have ever met, but I hope whoever she wanted to see her suicide at the school, in front of the library she use to work at...I hope they got the god dammed message.

I was kind of blunt and rude yesterday to some people..so if you're one of them then I'm sorry, I even got offline yesterday and stayed off until now so I could calm down and not accidentally offend anyone since I had been taking it out a little on my moirail and it only would have gotten worse.

As for this picture it's just some vent art stuff..
I've been reading Dante's Inferno and in the canto dealing with suicide the harmers to self are turned into trees and bushes since they didn't appreciate their body in life, so now they cant have them in death.

If that's the case, then she would be one of the most beautiful trees there.
