Day by day goes by and stuff happens and it puts me on the edge. I hate this life its not fair. I did not choose to be born so can’t I take my own life? But truthfully and honestly I am scared shitless. I don’t know how or when I am just certain that it will happen. I had a close friend who committed suicide and it has always been a rumor how he did it. The family never told anyone. But I heard it was bloody. I dont understand how somebody can have so much courage and be so brave. I havent done a lot research into it but i read hanging yourself results in gasping for air for nearly a half hour.(how come in the movies the murderer smothers somebody in bed with a pillow n their dead in seconds?) It’s terrifying to know you can fail so easily, but honestly sometimes I feel it’s more painful living. I wouldn’t cause anyone the troubles that I’ve been causing. Would it not be better on everyone else  if I just cowarded away from life. I am a coward, I dont want to deal with my problems! The reason people inhabited this planet in the first place was to procreate like all the other animals. So why did we build infrastructure and technology, so we have all this bullshit in between our main innate human goal. I find my self getting weaker and weaker and getting closer to the thought. At first it seems as though a strange thought but soon you realize its potential. Soon you start putting off things because that is what Ive done. I began looking at life with the attitude “I won’t be here much longer so who cares?” My parents never hugged me or told me they loved me as a child. they never asked me how my day was how I was; or what was wrong if I was crying. I don’t think they care, about me, or at all. I don’t know if I like life or not. My mother is only home 2 nights a week. TWO NIGHTS A WEEK. I do not consider myself to have a mother.  Everytime I have something to look up to somebody turns the thought into an unreal expectation. So what the *uck. I hate my sisters because they always made fun of me for being an emotional child. Always teased me because I was sensitive. I honestly want to do “it” sometimes just to prove to them that I have the guts, and I am not scared, and efff you for being so insensitive to me (if you really knew how i felt)…. Obviously people can have depression problems but who I am to be diagnosed with that. The truth is I lie to be happy and put on a face so nobody questions it. But the same people who see that face, they dont see you cry yourself to bed at night. Before I started writing this I was crying but for now my tears are all shed… I am still not over the edge.

A person who selects what they perceive to be the easiest option is not being brave. Some of the greatest warriors in history did not fear death at all, yet they would have never committed suicide. Even when captured by the enemy.
@Duke – I couldn’t agree more. The concept of bravery is legitimate but is subject to misinterpretation. The notion that one must have the same fears as another when determining the value of one’s courage is common and highly fallacious.
If someone’s greatest terror is to confront a challenge perceived as trivial by others; conquering that fear does not make him any less a hero to the very few – if any – who relate to his struggle.
To others, he has achieved nothing at all. His bravery isn’t worth of an apostrophe on the pages of history.
Conversely – someone who fears nothing can not lay claim to the of title of brave or heroic with any legitimacy; but his emotions are not transparent – only his actions are. Charging towards an enemy when devoid of fear or worry is no display of true courage; only perceived courage.
In practical terms: Do not feel less worthy than another simply because fear prevents you from emulating their feats.

Person A fears heights with a rating of 10.
Person B fears heights with a rating of 5.
Person B makes it to the top.
Person a makes it 90% of the way to the top.

Who should be a greater hero?
Perceptions are liable to fault and perversion. Emotions are free of fallacy; they exist – in varying degrees – or they don’t. They are honest. You are susceptible to their influence or you are not.
