Trigger Warning: Loss & Suicide This story is deeply personal. It’s about someone who changed my life — my best friend and mentor, Tyler. I’m sharing this not to focus on how he passed, but to honor how he lived — his kindness, his strength, and everything he taught me about being myself. If you’ve ever lost someone to suicide, or if you’ve ever felt alone in your pain, I hope this story reminds you that love doesn’t end — it just changes form. Tyler’s spirit still lives on in small moments, memories, and the lives he touched, including mine.
