hi sasha, its jay. i still miss you and think about you. i have so many questions for you right now. wish you were here, but i understand why you're not. xo
Aww, I commented before I finished watching this. It made me start crying, when you started talking about Sasha;3 I know how you feel, and I wish I could do something like this to say good bye as well.
i know how that feels, when ur friend comits sucide, its the fact that you never get the chance to say goodbye and you always think what if, its the what if's that tear you apart, they leave you empty inside, and even though life goes on, in the quiet moments when ur thoughts are floating, these what if's come back.
depression is isolating, a cloud of despair that settles upon ur soul, leaving u empty and alone, it tears ur spirit apart drives the warmth out it. happiness gone, obliterated.
I'm truly sorry you lost a dear friend of yours. I know how you feel. I most recently lost a friend of mine. It is so sad when we lose someone close to us. So its totally understandable how you feel. Just remember she is always with you in your heart.
Jay you have such a beautiful heart! This was so touching and sad. I am sorry that your friend ended her life. What a blessing she was to you to help you when you felt so badly. Thank you for opening your emotions and heart to all of us. LOVE YOU ALWAYS
jay- so personal a time & yet you were kind enough to share it-sorta theraputic to do so. you are an amazing, warm & caring guy-regardless what you think. I consider myself lucky to know you-regardless how tangential we are aquainted. Love you!!!
May your pain one day subside, and your love for her endure. Some of us share your epic pains of the past, yet as each day pass you grow stronger and WISER. I hope you keep tapping into your fellow beings resevoir of strength to get past struggles and put one foot in front of the other. Peace and *a sneaked kiss on the cheek*
I hope Sasha has access to youtube... The heaven fax line closed down a while back... god (heaven landlord) must have put in a wireless network by now... if not im going to hell instead... and we all know hell has GREAT internet.
Hey jay I'm very sorry for your loss. I saw you last week in SF and thought you where amazing! I feel your music and the pain and longing that you put into it. I've been trough it to and have had lost friends to suicide. It's a sad thing but I guess all we need to do is deal with the struggle and keep pressing on. Luvs xoxo
WoW. Umm .. That was a moving tribute to a lost friend. I really wish that nobody ever had to lose all hope and turn to terminating their lives. Enough said. Thank you for sharing this with the rest of us.
Hey! I was there in may and Im a canadian boy lol so I walked exactly where you were walking and looked over that same edge with that little pool looking thing on the bottom =D
Was a fun time minus the shoes I was wearing at the time lol
I hope your friend Sasha isn't suffering any more and is at peace.
Jay, I also hope you no longer feel as alone as you described here. Remember that when you reach out there is always someone there to take your hand - though sometimes it can be hard to see them, they are there. Take care :)
I like to think of those that have gone on before us are watching over us...protecting....guiding......most certainly still loving us. The gifts they left behind are so precious because they were all they had to give.
i understand struggling with those kinds of feelings and that kind of depression. I tried to kill myself a few years ago. thank you for sharing. its always comforting to know there are others out there that can relate.
...aw..two things. One. I was there like 2 months ago and it's weird to see you there! Craziness! lol Second, too bad I didn't bump into you and meet you...for two reasons...one to finally meet you!!! And two, to prevent you from crying by hugging you...I know what if feels like not to say goodbye to someone you love so dearly and it hurts and i know you don't want pity alls I'm going to say is I understand and I'm sorry. Keep doing what ur doin your a beautiful person. =)
wow! that was beautiful! jay keep doing what you do every single day, i love you so much. i know you get this a LOT but you inspire me every day. im sure sasha is proud of what you've done and i'm glad you had such a beautiful friend who is in a better place now, without the pain she was going through at the time. xoxo. Jack.
Suicide isn't easy...despite protestations of those who don't understand. My best friend killed himself when we were young and now it still hurts... Thank you for sharing this Jay...know that you are not alone...even though the pain can blind us at times...
Maybe that was Sasha as a selkie in the water...?
I bet sasha was an amazing person and im sure she knew you were such a loving and caring person. We probably dont know what was going through her mind that made her choose that route but it was most likely unbearable.
Its none of my business but while u were talking it made me think to ask you if you are going to write a song about her and dedicate it to her. Just a thought. Your voice and music is fantastic Im sure she would have loved it just like everyone else will.
Sometimes I think the Buddhists are right. There has to be an "off" button for all the craziness out there, that isn't physically damaging or mentally stifling. I guess it's love.
You're a really sweet guy. Thanks for posting this.
YOU are beautiful and smart and amazing and funny.
Also, on a depressing yet interesting note, there's a movie called, "The Bridge" that chronicles a year of jumpers from The Golden Gate bridge. Powerful and sad, but good.
Just remember that you will ALWAYS have US! theres a lot of people out there who love you. be strong and keep up the GREAT work! luv ya lots!!! P.S. you're AMAZING!
That was... just so beautiful. I'm sure sasha appreciates this. And you are not a freak jay and just like she saved your life, you have saved so many lives as well with your music- including mine. so thank you jay.
That's a lovely, heartfelt tribute to your friend. She probably knew how much you loved her but this is a beautiful way for you to say it. I think she knows, wherever she may be.....
Jay, that was beautiful. I'm very happy you were able to walk the bridge as it truly is a great experience. I think you should write a song about your walk and the memories you shared with us. I know it would be wonderful. Take care....
You are an awesome person and I hope you never find yourself in that dark place again. You have so many people that love and need you - you are an inspiration to me and many other fans. <3
But you are not a freak!! I know people probably put that in your head (they did that to me too), but you're sooo not!!! I promise one day you will feel better (here on earth I mean ha ;) ).....
Take the bay cruise which takes you under the bridge. It is an awesome experience. I love San Francisco. Sorry for the loss of your friend. You are a very special, talented human being who has enriched all our lives. Peace.
oh, i´m sorry for your friend. that is a terrible way to go out of life. i don´t think you became a freak through that, maybe you have been one always and realize the freak in you. well, whatever a freak is. from what i see, you´re a very talented, nice and smart young man with passion, melancholy and humour. Cheers. André :-)
It's Cool By Krazyboytx I am tired but can't sleep, happy but won't laugh, looking for love but happy to be alone. I have reached my goals, but my dreams have just started. Life is short,but I feel like I have lived along time, so I dream tonight of a day that never ends. And yet excited that I will wake to start a new day.
Two years later, sorry for your loss 3=

Grief is a lovely word.
It has the sound of quiet rain
Falling upon leaves.
Sorrow is more contained;
There is more self in sorrow...
Pain is like lightning
Splitting the heart with fire.
But grief is a lovely thing,
For out of grief the soul comes pure
As young grass out of rain. - Dora Hagemeyer (1929)
