I know, i know…this is a rather touchy subject. The fact of you leaving will hurt many people.
Lets just be clear, i am not suggesting or supporting that anyone leave this world, simply stating an opinion anyone may think on.
So your there, in that moment, yes you know the one. And all you can see is you hurting people if you left. Which is true. You will. Theres no doubt in my mind of that. But lets..just…step back moment from thinking about that.
Lets talk about me. I’ll be the genii pig in this example. If i were to leave. Right now..i would hurt lots of people. Yes..because there are people in this world that in some way or another care about us. In some way..any way. But honestly. That doesn’t bother me. Even if that seems shallow. It doesn’t.
The reason why is. Look at me. From a third person view in space. I’m in pain. Deep pain. Relentless pain. Pain that i fear, will never leave me. My life is in shambles. My heart torn into a million pieces, my soul..looking as dead as it ever has. Just barely a spec of light left in it. My body, feels as if i am a trillion years old. I’m not even functional in reality anymore. Just a broken man, barely scraping by.
The saddest thing is, no one knows how bad i am. How close to the edge i am. Leaning off just on the verge of losing my balance. Just. Waiting. Hoping. Direly hoping something will come along and push me over the edge. My loved ones especially dont know this. Maybe a friend or two had an idea. But all of you, are truly the first to see this.
So i know. You all get it. Im bad. No need to stand on a box and say poor me. For the record im not looking for sympathy. Simply understanding. Acknowledgement of where i stand. And i must say. As selfish as it seems, how people feel. Is the last concern on my mind. Because if they knew…if they really knew, if i took their hand and shared every emotion i feel, they would see it too. They would drop their fear of losing me. They would see. That i really am better off in the next life..whatever that may be. Its not being selfish folks. Its called standing up for who you are, and whats really best for you. And alot of people its best to stay, but every now and then theres one of us who just doesn’t fit. Who is an alien to the very world they inhabit. And they were so very gracefully given this life, then i think its their right to decide their own fate. Whatever that may be, for better or worse. Just don’t let your surrounding influence your decision. Sure it takes its toll and does impact you, but what im saying is in that moment where you have the urge to leave. Really think about it. Don’t fall the the fate of sheer impulse. Let yourself search, search high above this crazy world. And you sir ladies will find your answer..just as i have.
Don’t fall to the reaches of fear, pity, or shame..rise to the powers of knowledge, willingness, and most of all pure common sense, and we shall all go far beyond the roller coaster of life ??

I could have written these same words.
I think what makes it so hard for our families is cause we have kept everything so well hidden that they just can’t understand why, and having so many unassured questions that will never be answered is pretty hard to deal with. people wish that they could have done something and “fixed” us some how. and why I think that is cause if the tables was turned and I knew one of my family members had my experiences then I would do anything I could to make them happy. they think they know us, they know everything about us so to discover that they knew very little hurts a lot but the truth is we never fully know anyone really, we only ever know as much as a person as allowed us to know.
To my family I guess they would see it as I had so much to live for, so many friends, had done so many good things and had so much to look forward to… like a couple of years ago when my mum asked me what am I doing for my 30th…. “I’m going to go out in town with a few friends” what friends? I went to a little tiny bar in the middle of nowhere order a drink and sat out in the smoking yard so I didn’t look such a loner. or what about the time I went to Ibiza with a few work friends… my “get out” of a family holiday so I didn’t have to be with them all for a week but really stayed home… I cant even “do lunch” with people at work I go to the loo and have my dinner while they go to the pub. bottom end of it is I have protected people from the truth so me leaving would now seem out of the blue
Very good words here
Thank you, just being real with you :0)
That is so true. But how long can we keep hiding it? I am trying to appear happy but inside i feel damaged, alone and sad.
Good question! I can not answer that :-/ I guess how long a person can keep up a pretence varies from person to person. Ideally you would speak out and accept the support/help that a family has to give to you…. easier said then done I know.
After a recent failed attempt my family are a little bit more aware now then before, but all the for whys and questions are still unanswered in away, I have a hard job trying to pin pint it for myself never mind trying to tell anyone else lol. but I think more then anything they was shocked and put in a situation where they didn’t know what to do or say really, get a Dr and get some tablets seems to be the way forward… I’ll get the tablets to put their minds at rest but I don’t plan on taking them if I’m honest
I liked what I read :3
DarkOvercast,
The real fact is nothing maters, once you die you don’t know anything, and once they die they won’t know anything, nothing matters. now that’s harsh but true.
Thanks for having the balls to say that. Apparently everyone in my rl doesn’t have the guts -bro hoof-
