Thank you, thank you for posting this. In college, one of my favorite friends dropped out of an ivy league school and we talked about transferring to the same state university. We has a great conversation, promised to see each other over the summer, and didn’t.
Several weeks after school started, my mom called me to tell me my friend has committed suicide. I was overwhlemed with sadness.
I had a feeling something was wrong when we spoke, but did not persue it. If I had said “talk to me”, there might have been a different outcome.
This is the most private regret I have ever put into words. Be a good listener to your friends. I regret that I did not make more of a commitment to listening.
I LOVE that we are different now.
