Very, very sad.
There's no shame in certain stories resonating more, and this one does. Not much older than her and I've travelled solo almost every time I've been overseas. My girlfriend the same, my sister the same. They've been in her situation and had the excitement of a brand new country's air hit them after spending 35 minutes looking down, descending. They've met mates for a night. They've felt sad and lonely and wanted to go home immediately, just as this girl probably did at points. They've had to get up at 4am and angry for a flight and tried not to wake anyone.
A very pretty girl, who'd just finished uni, and died on her 22nd ******* birthday.
Was taking the piss, sharing some decent humour on her twitter, sharing Ariana Grande memes like everyone else, but every second instagram of hers had some nostalgic, sort of sad bent to it... about the recent past and the present. 'How can you not have goals?' Even making Winnie The Pooh sound like the epitome of a saudade wordsmith.
They apparently met on tinder. It'll be interesting to see if something just went wrong and he's panicked and tried to leave her body and attempted to hold that secret forever, or if he was dumb enough to premeditate it. Regardless, a bonafide ******* tragedy.
Young people going in their midst of their utmost enjoyment really really *s with me.
Vale.
