Traditions

Dear Diary,

Someone I knew vaguely (exchanged passing glances and a few words with) just hung himself.
He was a fairly good looking guy with a pretty girl on his arm. And he still did that to himself. What a shame, a complete waste of a life. Maybe I don't know better but perhaps he had problems in his life that he couldn't stand to be in this living world anymore? I guess we shall never know.

Still, these things scare me.
