Instant Vintage : 11.2009 : …travel light… (Confessions)
I won’t lie. The news of Daul Kim’s death rocked me to the core.
I’ve never been one to idolize models. In fact, I don’t pay them much mind. Daul, however, had an accessibility to her that most models never put the effort in to. I’m sure her fans cherished it.
I related to her in a way that would probably scare my mother/dudeguy/several of my friends to death. Reading the more stark, ominous-sounding entries on her blog reminds me of this more now than it ever did. At present, I’m thanking Jah, Zeus, and the Flying Spaghetti Monster that I was able to surround myself with people that were able to even me out and help me deal with the issues in life that I could not go at alone. I wish she had been able to do the same.
i dont care about being remembered
i dont care about being forgotten
i dont care about being loved by everyone
i just want to be loved by someone who can
i want it to last-DK
My hope is that her untimely and tragic death will raise awareness about the severity of depression. It’s not just about feeling sad, disinterested, or a general air of malaise. It’s about 356x more serious than most people realize and can lead to loss; terrible loss that could probably be prevented with proper diagnosis and treatment.
Stats will tell you that you probably know someone who is clinically depressed. Chances are that if you know someone who is depressed, they’re asking for help. Try and see the signs. You could save a life.

I appreciate your extra verbage regarding depression. You are absolutely correct that it is not something you with a grain a salt. If it were not for my desire to express my feelings, I to would be on a constant rollercoaster of emotions.
Now, you are telling my life. Depressed since age 12. Now, 23. Coming out of it though. This blog helps, its very entertaining.
I heart you sands.

A very interesting blog post. What would you say was the most common problem?
You know– it’s so sad to read about her death– because we all connected to her in some way– whether it was a flash of her darker side through her blog, or her edgy outsider looks in fashion… She had a quirky sense of humor, but underneath it all, glimpses of the forbidden, the sadness. I hope people reach out to others and make that phone call to a friend they haven’t heard from in a while. We’re all so busy with our lives, but it’s important to reach out now and then.
it is truly sad sad sad. i’ve been in a dark place before…it was only God that pulled me out. I’m sure of it.
