When you see someone suffering in life, they may think ending it is the only option.
On their behalf, I would like to translate what this means so you can all stop being selfish and angry with them for having these thoughts.
And no, it's not as simple to say "Well then, don't live like that anymore."
Maybe they have an incurable disease. Maybe they don't have a job, family or anyone else to turn to.
Whatever the reason, they don't have the means to feel the way we all wish they could.
But getting angry at them and turning it around to point out what your life would be like if they carried out their full thought, isn't going to help anything. #sorrynotsorry #ionlyspeaktruth
What would one step, just one, do for them - if anything?
(I say "if anything" because I'm not trying to put thoughts or words in anyone's mouth or head that is feeling this way. I am not saying this in a contradictory way - and no, I don't ever have to justify anything I write, but this is my blog so I'm being fully transparent. Look it up, Carol.)
Nothing is "too big" because honestly, they are still breathing. They are still alive, hope and faith should be too.
Hope in all the options, faith in them to try, faith in yourself to be willing to help...
Maybe I'm way far off on this, I only know what it's like to wonder if someone else had been born in my place, or if I ceased to exist - what difference would that ever make.
Even if I fully believed it wouldn't make a difference, somehow I knew for myself something eventually had to change.
And that's where I decided to try to help myself. I had to, at all costs.
Because as we ask ourselves what difference would it make if I ceased to exist, the point is we do and I can't believe that is meaningless.
It's not about anyone else, you... exist.
That already makes a world of difference.
Now take that step in figuring out what to do with it.
There's plenty of world to be had and moments yet to be remembered.
