damn its sad because she was also one of the kind members, I never actually spoke with her on here but I did see her on ATRL a lot. again sorry ATRL went down at the wrong time guys! I'm seriously feeling for her friends and her family right now
I just want to take a moment to say that I am incredibly thankful for all of you guys. ATRL is a crazy website and I know we spend most of the time dragging each other, but I love y'all so much. I don't want to post in RT anymore about Guernica because I feel I don't have the right considering we weren't super close friends, but I just hope everyone knows how much love I feel for you all.
This is so surreal, I never interacted with her much but her kindness and warmth radiated through this forum, especially this thread. RIP Guernica, you may be gone from us but you will never be forgotten.
Knowing she disclosed she had 2 other family members dying, and that happens. I really do honestly hope the best for her family, and especially her parents -- losing two brothers, and a daughter in a year. This makes me so thankful I haven't had any real close family losses, and really shows the importance of not taking them for granted. This is just...
I've never knew someone who died young. This is all too much. Guernica was truly a nice member, and not someone you have to pretend to put nice things about -- she was so optimistic, motherly, calm, and chill. I truly did look up to her. I feel bad because I really didn't pay attention to her being gone the past month, I thought maybe she was busy with life or such.
Like I know this is a forum, but when you really connect with members especially on a daily level and you tend to know each other personally this really is shocking. I really hope she's at peace, and her family can find peace.
i'm sorry if i'm like worrying or upsetting people or something. i'm just really angry and disgusted and i'm not really sure what i'm angry at. i don't know. i just want this to not be real.
although the huge mood whiplash with marn's post actually kind of made me laugh and that was nice. it's like when i was really upset about a relationship problem and ranting to my friend and instead of "gives me rude responses" my mind kind of went off somewhere and i ended up typing "gives me nude responses" (even though "n" and "r" are nowhere near each other on the keyboard. i space out a lot) and it kind of feels good to laugh about something. idk
It was cardiac arrest (she had been complaining about pains in her last ever post), she was on life support.
Her brother posted that information online which I have just seen, so it's out there in public, I'm not crossing any boundaries hopefully. This whole thing really makes me think, please look after yourself everyone.
I still can't believe it, i'm hoping she will just log on tomorrow and everyone can drag me for getting it wrong. But it's true. It's just so unreal. I always thought she would just always be here, posting her random thoughts in here, having banter with us all. But in an instant she's gone. It's not fair.
what the hell would make a seemingly healthy person in their 20s have cardiac arrest and die? that's so horrifically unlucky, like the chances of that happening are so small and of course it happened anyway. i feel like someone i know got killed in a tornado or something. like, this happens to OTHER people. it's too rare to happen to us. but now it did. how is that fair???
The fact I had the convo with her on dying early two months prior, I'm shaking. I really really just think we should all take the time to be thankful for time we have spent here and everyday after we continue to live. You truly never know when you're going.
I really feel like we should do something special in her memory. Random Thoughts was a second home, and we all knew her so well. Like we've spent hours and hours with her like she was a regular close friend.
yes even if we have our little disagreements and dont' talk much, everyone of you have a piece of my heart, I mean knowing any of you being in danger and passing away really makes me sad, I cherish knowing everyone one of you! and my god she was only a month younger then me too so so young.
she was one of my favorites here honestly. and we had a lot of fun just doing goofy stuff. and i still haven't forgotten when i was having a breakdown because of school and i came in here asking for help and she immediately was the first one to respond. this is just. wrong. i was thinking earlier about how she'd come back and just be like "why were you guys so paranoid lol" but i guess not huh? this is just unfair. i don't want to write a goodbye because i don't want to accept that this happened. god i want to punch a wall or something

haha was wrong timing but yeah! some joy in here made me down for a bit...but I see where you are coming at
Cupid, are you and the staff gonna make a memoriam thread or such?
The word is gonna spread around the site, and I just don't want everyone to find out because non-respectful people will make threads saying "Is it true that she died?" and spam HQ and such when they find out. I don't know, I feel she should be honored properly and not spread throughout the site like a school rumor.

This! she would probably like it too since she was an active member...
Okay just broke down in the kitchen and again just in bed.
We love and miss you Taryn - thank you for being such a wonderful friend and even more amazing human being.
