It is offensive because IT IS A LIE. Life isn’t brighter post-death or post-torture. The consequences or results of inflicting injury upon yourself is not more clarity or more happiness.
What something feels like temporarily (like temp relief from internal pain by cutting) and what something IS can be completely different. (like cutting is injury and injury is the opposite of healing and wholeness). wrong goal. needs redirect. I’m gonna run from this place. I’m gonna look for a big leaf to put over my heart because I’m bleeding emotionally, I feel inadequate, and I lack faith to be healed right now. But I can lay down in my bed and put my hand over my heart. Because even if I make mistakes, and disappoint my family, and fail them because I’m depressed, I’m still worth saving.Maybe no one will read this, maybe no one will care, but I am reading it, and how I care counts because it is my hand that will lay upon my heart as if a leaf, then my head will rest on the pillow and sleep.

Are you suicidal? Because it seems like you aren’t.
