As a student at UT, I am thrust onto the emotional roller coaster of what the events on campus today mean. In the coming hours we will hear more about the personal life of the man who killed himself and created a scare all too familiar to college students across the globe. I sit here safely in my own home and feel deeply saddened for this man, his life and his family and friends. And I cannot help but think of the missing support in his life while I am constantly overwhelmed with it. Since it's infancy, South Austin Soul has been a place of refuge for me, a source of encouragement and a feeling of comfort. Many of our members are completely unaware of the circumstances that were created in my life in our first few weeks. Events that left me feeling unsafe in my own home yet completely safe in our gallery as friendships were being built and creativity unleashed. You were my pillars of strength and continue to be to this day. We are blessed to have each other and I am thankful everyday to have you all in my life. It is not always easy to stick by each other, emotions sometimes become flared and we are all open books. But our openness is our savior. To know you have by your side the hearts of South Austin Soul makes it easier to fall asleep and wake each morning. Thank you, you are all my angels.
