Is it a good part? Should it be listened to? It’s very unrealistic and naive but it’s hopeful. Last I checked hope was a good thing.
The other part is a realist and knows that history is a good predictor of the past. Being on a downward spiral points further down.
in short, I’m suicidal with a fantasy of breaking free and becoming something great

Forecast: Suicidal with a chance of hope. I really like that. I was thinking the other day about how hopeful everyone here is. Even the least of us still hopes or why would we even be here? Some folks post about how much they hate interacting with people but isn’t posting here in and of itself interacting with humans? That need to just touch another person in any way possible isn’t something any of us can stop feeling, regardless of how bad we get.
I like this so much. Truthful. Honest. Thank you for posting.
“unrealistic and naive but hopeful”.
I like that.
It sounds like the part that keeps me alive too.
Hope is tricky. Sometimes it’s good. Sometimes it seems so cruel. But you know what? Nothing bad can come from pursuing it at least a little ways, and trying it out. If you were planning on killing yourself anyway, you might as well exhaust all other possibilities first. Even if it doesn’t work, who knows what little moments of joy you could get out of a brave adventure like that? 🙂 Or even what lives you could touch along the way? I say, listen to that hopeful voice.
“If you’re planning on killing yourself anyway, you might as well exhaust all other possibilities first.” I like that a lot. Thank you.
Hey, no problem man. I can’t take credit, though. That’s a nugget of wisdom that I’m pretty sure Hazy passed onto me. It just stuck with me ever since.
I saw your latest post earlier. I hope you’re alright.
