I just put this photo in my "inspiration" folder a few days ago, and found out last night that she committed suicide on Thursday, found by her boyfriend, hanging.
I researched her a bit more, read some of her blog entries, and it's just so sad to see a 20 year old girl, so lonely and lost. So depressed, but surrounded by high fashion and having to be in the spotlight, on the runway and in front of the camera all the time. From what I read and saw through videos of her, I feel that she was too smart, and had too much to give to just be a model. I can feel that she had bigger dreams and aspirations, but she was becoming so successful in the modeling world, that she couldn't just walk away from it. I can't imagine being so depressed that you would really want to end your life. She has written in her blog, that she didn't want to die, that she wasn't depressed, and that she doesn't want to kill herself. But in the end, something must have driven her to it...to end it.
I know it sounds weird, but whenever I hear about suicide stories, I always wished that I could be there for them, no matter who they are. I just know that sometimes, all they need is a friend, someone to be there, to listen and to care. I can be that person. I am that person.
