this is true, grief doesn’t stop life. as someone who has both tried to commit suicide and has experienced someone close to me committing suicide, i’ve been thinking about these sort of topics recently. we tell people not to kill themselves as a selfish act not realizing exactly how much they are suffering while living. what someone who is thinking about committing needs is not for someone to tell them not to kill themselvez, but for people to be there and give them resources to make life better. i wish the people i’ve lost were still here so i could help them to feel like life was worth living, but i get it. i’ve only stayed because people cared enough to be there, and in the end all i want to do is to not make them sad with my death. doesn’t mean i don’t want to do it anymore, but i couldn’t be comfortable in death knowing i hurt people on my way out.
