Loss for the FA Breathplay Community
9 years ago
General
So I don't normally use my journals to wander into the going-ons within the Snuff community around FA. I hear things, I see things, I don't feel the need to comment on 99% of it.
I feel this is worth dropping that policy briefly, however, and share this journal posted by Destrega:

I didn't know Felix closely, but I'd commissioned him a few times, and have followed his work for years. To say it had no influence on my own writing habits would be an outright lie. It's hard to be a part of this community and not know who Felixpath is, or have seen his art. We'd spoke personally a few times, and he seemed like a nice guy. Beyond being a loss for the community, this is a loss for those he loved, and those who loved him.
I feel like this is the kind of thing that's going to lead to rumours, and questions. These kinds of things typically leave plenty of both in their wake. This news is only about 40 minutes old as of the writing of this journal, so let's try to keep the inevitable drama respectful to those grieving.
Love him or hate him, he was a pillar of our little corner of the FA community, and that should be respected in the coming hours and days.

Mourn, remember, and eventually focus on the positives you got from your relationship with him. The How's and Why's are a circular train of thought that'll trap you in the details of his death, while ignoring the far more important details of his life.
Don't be afraid to reach out to others that knew him, man. No man is an island, especially at times like this.
It's unfortunate that it takes the death of a celebrity to actually drill points into people's heads, but Robin Williams is a somber reminder that depression makes good actors of us all.
