I guess this is a journal

Seeing that someone cared enough about Colin to write something so good is in an odd way very touching. I've actually read the story many times and that was the first time I realized I could comment on it. If you ever want to know more about Colin I can promise you that I know more than anybody else will ever know about him.Author's response
His death affected me way more than I would have expected, so I guess sharing what I was feeling was kind of therapeutic for me. I've healed and moved on since then, so I feel like that story no longer has to be up on this site (I still have it saved to my computer though). But I'm glad you were able to appreciate it and find it touching- that wasn't my intent, but I'm glad nonetheless.
Thank you so much... If you feel comfortable telling me, it would be kind of nice to know what he was like, like what kinds of things he enjoyed doing and what made him happy, or what he was interested in, or what he wanted to do when he was older, or things like that. Those are the kinds of things I've always wondered about. Please don't feel like you have to tell me, I'm really just curious.
I appreciate your kindness so much- thank you so much for sending me a message.I guess this is a journal

Colin was happy go lucky up until the ninth grade started when things started to turn around. Even though he was still funny and sweet he didn't think he was. He stopped caring how he did in school and started to fall back. Even during this time though he was still super cool. His favorite bands included The Clash and The Ramones and he went to his first concert when he was very young. I think his favorite Ramone was Johnny Ramone but I guess you could say it was DeeDee but defiantly not Joey. He wanted to go into business I think like what his dad does but I'm not positive. He really liked to skateboard and long board and when he was younger he would BMX bike. When he turned 16 he wanted the challenger but knew how unpractical that was. He made skinny jeans look good! People always say that guys who wear skinny jeans don't look cool but I always thought that he looked cool in skinny jeans. Really he had his own style. His favorite foods included anything edible particularly steak and lobster. He was what you would call an expensive date. The girls that he dated always seemed to be nice girls who actually cared about him. I don't know all of the details about them though. He also loved to swim as you probably knew it cleared his head.I truly believe that if he hadn't gotten sick he would have been an Olympian.
I love to share my stories about him so if you want to hear about anything in particular I would love to tell you.
