has come and gone and I still can’t believe any of it. Exactly a year ago I was in a very shitty relationship that was falling apart and taking me down with it. I can’t believe that it finally ended especially the way everything has gone down. I also can’t believe that in two months I will have had a close friendship with someone for an entire year. That person whether they meant to help me or not did more than I could have ever imagined. I am so grateful for that, for them and everything that they have done. I am sad because these holidays and special occasions are empty and I am truly alone and it sucks. But I will say this, this year is a million times better than last year I can tell you that much. I am a much happier person now than I was then I feel more free, more positive. And I can only hope that this improvement will continue and that next year will be better than this year. Happy Birthday to myself, I love you!

Hi.
I admire you so much. And I’m so glad you made it (I hope you made it, anyway). You’re such a strong person, and it’s a terrific decision to stay. I know it can be hell, but I hope you can see that it’s not going to be like that forever (unless you decide to go before it can get better, obviously).
You sound so grateful. I think you’re a wonderful person to be around, and I’m kind of thankful for the person that helped you so much (apparently), too. It’s such a positive post. I’m glad you’re still here and able to write things like that.
However.
Thank you for lighting up the Suicide Project a little;
Thank you for posting this.
