the sweetest
Imagine dropping 10 pounds in the next month.
Imagine your friends noticing a change.
Imagine them being “worried” about you.
About how small you are.
About how thin you’ve gotten.
About how tiny you’ve become.
Imagine them worrying if you’re ok but wondering how you did it.
Skip that next meal and that could be you.
to those who are suicidal, reasons to stay alive.
if you’re looking for reasons to stay alive, reasons to get help, reasons to start the long, challenging but so worth it road of recovery, here it is.
if you kill yourself, you won’t be able to tell your story. you won’t be able to say, “look how god damn close i was to ending it all, but here i am now.”
if you kill yourself, you family, friends, pets, teachers, religious figures, school community, people you don’t even know directly will be affected and touched. they will be lost and devastated without you.
if you kill yourself, you’ll never find out if things got better, and how your life turned out. did you graduate college? get married, buy that house and have kids? did you get that dog breed you’ve always wanted? do you have grandchildren? what do their lives entail? although these things seem impossible, somewhat undesirable right now, hold on.
Who will be the next Kylie Jenner in a few years? What’s going to be the song of the year in year 2021? What shows are coming to broadway? What pop stars and celebrities haven’t gotten their big break yet?
If you kill yourself, you’ll never be able to get that tattoo. go to concerts, meet your favorite celebrity. travel the world. swim with dolphins, scuba dive, hang glide, skydive.. what ever your heart desires. you wont be able to do it.
Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem. if you’re reading this and you’re suicidal, hang on. Please, the world needs your light, your knowledge, your compassion, we need you alive. Things get better. they always do, although it might be challenging. recovery is possible.
