We all have gone through a dark phase in our lives, gotten in a fight with a person and hated him/her/them so much that we wanted to kill them. The truth is, it's one thing to say you are going to do it, and another to actually go through with it. The only time I can think of wanting to kill someone is if they have done something absolutely horrible to me or my loved ones, and even then, I don't think I would ever do it.

Though I can understand conflict between religions, political groups, or countries, mass-killings and genocides are never a solution. If anything, they create more conflict, and the cycle never ends.

The 365 days. I didn't want to start it, but a friend of mine begged me to translate it for her. Couldn't get past chapter 20, I was so disgusted by it.

@indrid-cold I did, and it's the origins of all the kingdoms before the Targaryens, as well as the story of the Targaryen Dynasty from Aegon and his sisters, all the way up to Tommen Baratheon.
It also has some detailed origins for the cities of Essos and its people.
It's really good if you are interested in learning about the world of GOT before the books.

Hi.
Your friend is probably hurt because you spoke to someone else about him being suicidal. I know you meant well, but he probably is ashamed of it and doesn't want others to know. You telling his other friend made him feel like you broke his confidence.
It will take time to gain his trust again, but I think you shouldn't give up on it. Try talking to him, explain to him why you spoke to the other friend who made fun of him. In the end, if time is what he needs, give it to him. Just make sure he understands you care for him and will be there for him when needed.
I hope you patch up your friendship.
All the best!

@raye I won't spoil it for you, but I feel I must warn you to be prepared for the repetition of expressions, and a lot of descriptions of sexual encounters. Good luck, you're going to need it!

@danii Unfortunately, that is true, and with all that is happening lately in the world, the possibilities for violence have skyrocketed.
