If you have been on the Suicide Project for awhile, you definitely notice that people are constantly coming and going. Some people are natives and always around. Some people join for a few months then depart from us, whether to live or to die. Some people lurk and may have their account active occasionally to post. And many, many people are just visitors, reading and looking for that certain comment that is just what they needed to read.
I recongniz3 (yeah 3 for e, like a boss) that there are quite a bit of comments and posts that lots of people find to be irrelevant, not helpful, or maybe offensive. But I feel like there is always that constant flux of positivity, those beautiful messages, and the immense statements being made by people, new faces or natives of the site. I often times find myself reading and think, “oh man, I bet __________ would have something to say here” or I think “wow_________ could really help this person” and I even think “I wonder what __________ will say when he/she reads this.”
Many of you guys and gals, new or natives, have wonderful, inspiring comments and posts. It lifts me and many others when we see what you have to say. I appreciate and admire the cloud of wisdom among a sky of countless clouds of hardship. And that wisdom cloud is what makes this entire sky, and all other clouds in it, beautiful.
New faces, faces who come and go, native faces, you know who you are…..whatever faces we may be, there is still the same beautiful message. Thank you people.

Well said, my friend. Indeed, the regulars of this site are the pillars for which “the distressed” who visit here build the foundations to a (hopefully) better tomorrow. I myself have experienced the awesomeness of the regulars here, and the assistance they provide to the weary travellers who make haste through these reclusive outlands.
*snaps to Attention*
To the unsung heroes of SP, and users of SP alike, I salute you. *Salutes*
its when we r grouped together like this we are strongest. this site IS a family. nobody can take that away.
Absolutely. You guys know what it is all about 🙂
Thanks for posting this! I am new here and I was looking for a place like this that would keep me away from thinking so much about ending my own life. I am fortunate enough to have met some kind people on here. I find that in the last day and half of me being on this site, my mood had significantly improved. I try to find humor in anything I think funny no matter how stupid it may sound to others. I also find that I have not focused so much on myself that I am helping others in their time of need which is the point: shift the focus of dying into another focus that is more positive. I have gained more perspective from the people I have talked to on here than I could ever gain in irl.
… anyone else feeling a group hug coming on? Also any avid coffee drinkers, i mean grind beans and all that?
@Procel: lol don’t be surprised if I start singing Kumbaya! lol
Valma2,
I love what you said. That is absolutely great – I’m happy things for you are on the positive rise. Your selflessness & help to others, the humor you’re finding – definitely good values to have. 🙂
Procel,
Group hugs all the way, lol. I’m new to the coffee scene, but it is growing on me.
@valma2 weirdly i dont think ive ever heard that song in full, next time im pre drinking, i shall listen to it.
@the distress, trust me, i find coffee great to temporarily fight off depression, you know how hard it is to be depressed when your jacked up on coffee?
@The Distress: Thanks
@Procel: all I know is the verse I believe….or is it the chorus? Be glad you don’t have to hear me sing….I have a very bad singing voice but I’ll still sing like no one’s listening!
I was thinking recently the same thing, i’m kinda new (lurked for a while at first tho), and at times i see posts and i wonder what will “___” answer to this, it’s fun because after a while you kinda look forward to reading answers, and they help you as well, even if they werent intended for you…. group hug? sounds fine to me haha
@Procel: Maybe some of that Death Wish Coffee that lorax mentioned might come handy?
Valma2 id say its the chorus. Haha im sure you have a lovely voice. sing and dance like no ones watching, allow your heart to beat to the rythem, and move in a trance that unlocks the primal side, only then shal you be unbeatable. (i once watched dirty dancing 2 with my ex, i got bored so substituted lines for the actors)
@keief, yeah i actually ordered some yesterday, and also a grinder, now i need something to go from grinder to drinkable coffee, personally thinking of going with a Chemex coffee maker, looks wicked.
@Procel: i used an old thomas coffee maker before i stopped drinking it (long story, ex gf involved, lol), and it did some good coffee… guess i’ll ask you for feedback on the death wish one when you get them, might be a good reason to start drinking coffee again (maybe dying out of caffeine overdose? cool)
it must be bad to stop coffee being something you drank. anything under four cups (on a good day) and im a incredible ****.
I shall post a revies on it here when i get them and the Chemex coffee maker, i cant wate. Ive always wondered how one would die from coffee, id presume heart attack or prehaps drinking so much that you deplete all your coffee stores and fly into an incredible homicidal rage causing suicide by cop
*review
Yeah i had to switch to tea because the memories were too much (even if that sounds ridiculous). Might has well have changed my name after all the changes i had to do to be able to start the letting go process, lol. But that Death Wish Coffee seems like too good to pass on… and i don’t know, can you really die out of caffeine consumption? i remember some heart attacks due to energy drinks so i assume it must be the same… now the cop thing? that could had happen to me a couple of years ago haha 🙂
