thecelestialchild:thee-renaissance-man:own-your-weird:tianatwitty:Please make this go viral. It is so important I don’t even care if you delete what I write here, just help it be seen. Reblog.Pass this on!For people who are or have been suicidal, does this or things like this help? I’m genuinely asking. I want to reblog something that actually helps, not just something I think helps.I sit down, I write out what I feel and how that compares with my situation (hopeless and bleak, respectively), and I save it on my hard drive. Then I read it and reread it as the people who love me and would read it were I to commit suicide (my mother, my father, my siblings, my friends, my nephews and nieces). Then I sigh and do my duty. There are things that make me happy, but I am not happy. Remembering things that make me smile is momentarily pleasant, but they don’t compel me to stay. There are people I love and situations I enjoy, but I am tired of life in my bones. Duty is what I reach for. I hate letting people down, even though I am so damn good at it. I would let people I love down if I were to die. I come from a family plagued by mental illness and depression, and my death would make siblings or parents or nephews or nieces more likely to die. I cannot allow that; They do not deserve that. Duty keeps me alive, because the real problem with life is that happiness is a slippery handhold.Really, honestly, if a person is struggling to stay alive, looking for happiness is the wrong road to go down. Deep breaths don’t work when you are drowning. -- source link
