The Truth?

We all have those days where we just want to curl up in a ball and not do anything for a while. We all have those day where all we want to do is just sleep, not because we are tired, but we just don't want to be awake. (I don't know about you guys but I have days where all I want to do is curl up in a ball in a dark conner and read or watch a show.) Life brings us down every once and a while, that's just what it does. That's what it's good at.

Dear the person who put suicide is 100% preventable on the internet,


You are a gullible imbecile. If someone is really suicidal you can't stop them. Yes, maybe you can postpone the undeniable fact that they are going to end up dead by their own hand. But, in the end they will walk in front of a car, knowing fully well how much that is going hurt, when you are with them. If you try to shelter them from the world, they are just going to be more depressed. No matter what you do, you can't change the fact that they are suicidal.

On the note of being depressed and suicidal, here's a quote I've seen a lot on Tumblr.

"If I killed myself tonight, the stars would still appear, the sun would still come out, the earth would still rotate, the seasons would still change . . . so why not?"

While that is all true, it is also true that you dying may make those things seam very useless. Without you, their reason for living and breathing is gone.  All they may want to do now is curl up in a ball and stay there for the rest of their life timespan. Nothing may seam important to them anymore, and all they want to do is see you again.

It's okay to be suicidal, but it is not okay to say that everything would be fine without you in the world. You don't know how they feel. The people that bully you my say that the world would be better without you in it, but they don't know that for sure. A person that you don't know that well may have a crush on you, they don't want you gone. A teacher that treats you harshly, may just want to see more of how amazing you are. They definitely don't want you gone

I'm not trying to guilt you into not dying, just think about all the people that you are leaving behind. All the people that will miss you.

Life does got too much to handle sometimes, I know. But there has to be at least one reason, no matter how pathetic it sounds, to stay in this lifetime. Maybe you want too see how that one character ends up. Or maybe you want to help someone, anyone, that was in your position. Maybe it could be to see who wins the Super Bowl.

No matter how weird your reason may sound, or how insane it is, it is a reason. And they are hard to come by.
