READ. IT'S LONG BUT WORTH IT.

It might seem a little complicated but it makes sense at the end I promise.



[1]
There’s a man sitting alone at a coffee shop. 
He has a seemingly happy life. Has loving friends and family. 
A college degree and a job, and a nice house.
But something is wrong. 
He has always been alone.
He feels empty. 
Like a piece of his heart; the thing that would make his life complete, is just missing. 
He has tried for years to fill it, with anything and everything. 
But it’s just empty.

There’s a man sitting at a coffee shop. 
There’s an aurora of happiness around him.
His life is complete. He has loving family, and friends. A nice house, a good job.
A woman walks up to him.
his eyes light up even more than before, if that was possible.
The woman was beautiful.
Even with the scars littered all over her body, she was absolutely perfect to him. 
She sat next to him.
They started talking and laughing, and you could tell that they were completely and utterly in love with each other. 



[1]
There’s a man sitting on a recliner, watching a football game, with a can of beer in his hand.
you look around the room and you see trash everywhere. Empty pizza boxes, liquor bottles, and beer cans. 
The man looks empty. 
The bags under his eyes painfully noticeable. 
He yells slurred drunken words at the game on the t.v 
He hates football, but he continues to watch it. 
He doesn’t know why. 
An hour later he passes out.

The man picks up the phone. 
“Hello?” He says happily. 
“Hey dad. Am I still coming to watch the game tonight?” A woman on the other line said.
He smiled with joy in his eyes. “Yes. Wouldn’t dare watch it without you.” He said happily.
He got off the phone, and walked into the kitchen. 
He got Doritos, and Mountain Dew. Her favorite snack/drink combination.
He walked to the living room, just as the doorbell rang. 
He opens the door, and a girl is on the other side. 
She smiles big, and hugs the man. 
“Hey dad.” She says. 
“Hey. the games about to start, and I know how much you like watching the beginning” the man said.
The girl practically dived to the remote, and turned the t.v on.
The man chuckled and sat down in his recliner.



[1]
There’s a girl alone in her room. Crying. 
She doesn’t know what to do anymore. 
Ever since her best friend….. died. 
She remembers her friend telling her all about her family troubles, how sad she was. 
The girl thought it was a phase, that she would get through it, and that she was being over-dramatic. 
She was wrong. So painfully wrong. 
She wishes she would’ve listened, talked to her best friend more. 
Maybe she would’ve been alive still.
Her friends death was all her fault.
She grabbed the blades and closed the bathroom door. 
Smiling at the pain she was going to cause, not being able to wait to see the blood coming out of her like rivers.

“DEAR GOD HE IS SO CUTE I JUST WANT TO KISS IS FACE” the girl screamed. 
the other girl laughed. “I know he is one fine hunk of man.” 
They giggled. 
“OKAY ARE WE WATCHING THE OFFICE OR WHAT.” The girl squealed.
“YES. PAM JUST NEEDS TO BREAK UP WITH ROY AND GET WITH JIM ALREADY GOODNESS.” the other girl says.
They get their blankets and Chinese food. And turned on the office and started watching.




Scenario 1, is what it would be like if the girl committed suicide.
She ended it, not thinking about whether it would get better in the future or not. Or how it would affect the people that would have been in her life.

Scenario 2 is what her life would have been like if she didn’t commit suicide. 
It got better for her eventually. 

If you’re thinking about committing suicide just think for a minute.
Even though you feel like absolute shit now, imagine your life in 10, even 20 years. 
It can get better. And it will. 
Taking your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. 
Even if it doesn’t seem so temporary right now.

Stay strong, and look to the future. 
I’m always here if any one needs to talk about anything. 
No matter how big or small you think your problems are. 
You are all beautiful wonderful people, who don’t deserve to live with pain or sadness. 
 


 
I'll read it just cause you asked me too. Sleepy at the moment so I'll threadz it for the am when I'll be awake enough to know what I've read.
 
since i am content with my life and do look to the future it didnt have much point to me, only read if you have some serious shit going on i guess, was kind of interesting but a long ass read, nice to see there is still people trying to make a difference +k
 
i have a few friends who have sunk pretty low, not to the point of suicidal thoughts but they were really confused about what to do with themselves and where they were going in life. they said what helped them through it the most was me talking to them about it and letting them know someone was there for them, no matter what. makes me feel all tingly inside just thinking about how i really helped them just by talking to them.

don't let people bury their emotions. just letting a friend know you're always there for them can make all the difference.
 
Yup, even if you aren't depressed or down and out. Good notice to make sure all your friends are still in check once and a while.

Good read btw dude.
 
I don't agree with that. I mean yes, a lot of suicides are people sort of going on impulse, not really thinking about the future and just doing it. There are plenty of suicides where the situation probably would have gotten better, they would have moved on from the heartbreak or the bullies or whatever the problem was.

At the same time I don't think that goes for everything. Some shit just doesn't get better. Sometimes the problem is inside of you.

Even if you move away, live on a mountain, hike in the sunshine, swim in the rivers. Everything can be as perfect as you can think but you can't escape it. IT just comes in waves for no reason out of nowhere.

I can't say that I can really blame some people. If every day is a constant inner struggle of darkness, I mean living like that can be hell. Sometimes that shit doesn't get better. The problems in your life may go away, if it even had anything to do with those problems anyway. You think everything's fucked just because of high school shit, maybe it is maybe it isn't, high school passes, but it still lingers. Go on from there with new friends new adventures, college or whatever. The shit still lingers.

I just don't agree with "Taking your life is a permanent solution to a temporary problem." Yes it's a permanent solution, but it's not always in response to a temporary problem.

Sometimes there nothing you can do. Just love the people around you and make sure they know that. Just hope for the best but life can be fucked up, unfair, bullshit and whatever else. At the same time there's also a lot of good in the world still.

I guess that's all you can do is just hope for the best and surround yourself with the things that make you happy for those moments. Try to fill your life with as much good as you can and then bunker down and ride out the storms as they come. The ocean can be nice to visit for a day at the beach laughing in the surf, but it can also be a nasty bitch when you're stuck in the middle and things are getting wild. I really can't blame people that get swept out too far and no longer wish to fight to stay afloat.
 
was going to say this but didn't want to interrupt the general positive vibe of the thread. it just seems almost insensitive to make such a sweeping generalization such as "it is a permanent solution to a temporary problem" about something as complex as the reasons a person chooses to commit suicide.
 
10/10 brotha appreciate you posting this more than anything, fwd'd it on to a friend and made her day!

Like he said, if anyone ever needs anything shoot me a pm
 
I felt like a buzz kill but fuck it. I hear people say that too much. I don't even know if some people think about some of those things before they say them. It just becomes one of those phrases you just here and regurgitate.

At the same time I def agree with the message of being a good friend and sharing positive energy with those around you even strangers. I actually try and share a lot more positive energy than I feel. I do my best to surround myself with it but sometimes you're just in a shit spot just because. At the same time that doesn't mean you can't help out some other people. I've def found some relief in that at least.
