I’m in my late 20s. A guy I used to play college football with hit me up about going on a trip to Haiti. We weren’t really close. More like an acquaintance from the team. We’d check in every now and then. We both came up in rough areas, so I think he felt like he could handle himself anywhere. I told him straight up I wasn’t going and that he needed to be careful. Haiti isn’t the same as where we’re from. It’s a different level right now. He brushed it off and acted like it wasn’t a big deal. He went by himself anyway. Straight SOLO! 😔 A few weeks later, I heard from another teammate that he got kidnapped and killed. Apparently they found pieces of him scattered on the street where the most violence is occurring. I hate that it happened. Nobody deserves that. But at the same time, I can’t shake the feeling like I tried to look out and he didn’t listen. Now I feel kind of off because I’m not as emotional about it as I feel like I should be. It’s more frustration than anything. For the guys in here, how do you process something like that? Is that normal? submitted by /u/TacticalJock15
