RJ Mitte (Walt Jr) has passed 😥

Wow, I was shocked to hear this. They are saying it was suicide. So sad. He was only 34 years old. RIP, Flynn ❤️

Battlestar Galactica has one of the best depictions of suicide that I've ever seen, and it really put me in perspective how a suicidal person could be trying to find some last few moments of joy to die with it. It's long gone, the decision is made, but let me have some good beforehand. It's really sad and touching.

Someone in our friend group commited suicide a decade or so ago. The people close to him commented how happy he was on the day he did it. He saw family, ran a bath, played computer games, then did the deed. It almost felt like once he'd made the decision that today was the day, a big weight was lifted off his shoulders.

Yup. A friend of mine in high school was all laughter and smiles and then a few hours later he was gone. It was awful…
