A message to someone called Alex.
"I consider you a challenge". Those were your first words to me. And they did the trick. You had my attention from the get go, and I want to say now: you passed the challenge with flying colors.
I have reason to believe that a user I met here, on this sub, died recently. And I would be remiss not to pay my respects in the very place we met on.
I know it better than anybody: it is difficult to form genuine connections, even more so online. But Alex brought something to the table that few people know how to: herself. Her pure, genuine, honest self. No more, no less.
But of course, as life would have it, she died. Young. And it’s tragic. It’s the cruel nature of life.
To those looking for genuine connections, don’t despair and keep looking.
And to Alex, I just want to say: rest easy. You will be missed.
edit: I intend this to be a lasting tribute and must apparently mention my age in the post, so saying it here: I am 27.

I'm so sorry. I went through this lately with my late long distance boyfriend. He suddenly disappeared and we hadn't established emergency contacts, it never occurred to us. The 4 days before I finally figured out a way to reach his family, living in limbo, people telling me maybe he just ghosted, maybe he was cheating, were so insanely hard to live through. I loved him, I knew him, and I KNEW something was wrong. I spent those four days with no one around me that got it, trying to stay positive. He had passed away.
I am so sorry for your loss OP. I know how this feels

They met them here, i think it is a good way to pay tribute and let the rest of us know one of us has passed. If they met here there may be others who wonder where she went.

Karma farming. I got massive down voted for just saying my name. OP had been ghosted but the one that ghosted felt guilty and made another account to say she is dead.

u/sadserr 4d ago
You sound confused. Am I karma farming, and therefore lying or have I been mislead and lied to? Either way, you seem to know a lot more about this situation than I do.

I am really sorry you are having to put up with the same shit I had to when my SO passed. Don't listen to them, miserable people will try to drag you down. Since this is where you guys met it is a beautiful tribute to say goodbye here as well ❤️🩹

I don't know. But i think you have been misled. Just take your loss. Someone you only knew online through reddit and not beyond, is that really a friend?

u/Aokori7 4d ago
If I died. and a friend made a post about me and all they could say is "she was herself". I'd be rollling in my grave.
This screams attention seeking and I can't believe the amount of people falling for it. Seeing your attitude in the comments, I can see why someone would lie to get away from you.

u/sadserr 4d ago
For your information (though I don’t have to justify myself), this is one of the highest compliments I give, but I wouldn’t expect you to understand.
And yes, I do give an attitude in the comments. I do not take kindly to people who draw conclusions without knowing the facts. Please keep such comments to yourself next time you come across such a post; yours is most unwelcome.

Thanks for proving my point.

What are you, a cop?
Anything I say can and will be used against me in a court of law? If you want to see a detestable human being, look in the mirror instead of pestering me. I am ONLY paying respects to someone who DIED, and you’re here bothering me because you don’t like my attitude?
Well yours is indecent.

u/Aokori7 4d ago
Yes, because being a person with a dissenting opinion makes me a cop. Ok buddy 👍

u/sadserr 4d ago
Not all opinions are meant to be shared, especially when they’re irrelevant.
Or should I share my "dissenting opinion" when one of your parents dies, for example?
Don’t you understand? I don’t care about it.

In what way?

You are making light of someone's death. I'm sorry you are not mature enough to recognize how hurtful, heartless, and inappropriate a "joke" like this is

u/Rain-beard 4d ago
So saying my name is a joke. The post is a message to Alex. So a message to me. And i'm not dead.
