The thought of death sometimes gives me this warm tingly feeling inside. The thought of never having to worry about my life, or about what I am going to do with my life gives me a high. I look at knives and I cant help but pick one up…….I run my finger over the blade to feel how sharp it is, As I do that I think what would happen to my family? my friends? my boyfriend? Would I be selfish for leaving this world and leaving them behind? The pain of knowing how much it would hurt others is more painful than actually being here. I still have so much to do still. I still want to get married, have children, and make something of myself. I think about what my wedding dress would look like, how my boyfriend would look, if our unborn baby would have his thick hair and my eyes. I have these good thoughts in my head I feel my hand lowering the knife back into its droor. I walk away and remember that this is the only life I have and will ever have. I walk away and get into bed, I look at the walls with pictures of my family and friends I smile a little inside and I reach into my nightstand and take my antidepressant, I close my eyes and go to sleep and hope tomorrow I wont get such a good feeling when I think about death. I want this life and I decided to stay and make the most of it. I take my medicine as im told and after sometime I know I will feel better. I didnt promise myself to stay…….I promised my mom

I could never let Mom down. I never outgrew that; I don’t think we’re supposed to. I think she feels some (possibly self-questioning) pride, a little confusion, but a whole lot of love. If not for my family I would feel entirely alienated by this world. They are plenty enough reason for me to take meds seriously. Not everyone has that source of strength and love and suicide is far more easily contemplated.
Stay strong, lost eyes.
