"The minute you think of giving up, think about why you have held on for so long." - Suicide Awareness Day
"The minute you think of giving up, think about why you have held on for so long."
It's suicide awareness day! For all of you who have lost a loved one, my deepest sympathies are with you, and for those who have tried to commit suicide, i'm so truly happy you're alive. In a world full of people with busy lives, it's hard to possibly believe someone's life has been taken.. by their own hands.. but half of the time we do not even hear of it. It's hard to believe that someone could think of themselves so negatively and think that there is no other option but to disappear. No one on this earth that was or is... or is to be.. deserves THAT. No one.
There's so many people who suffer from depression around the world, so many people who have had thoughts like "No one cares, I might as well be gone." And that my dear, is completely wrong. What I have taken from friends, and people from school/ in my area who have committed suicide is that it not only takes one life, but it destroys the lives around that person. Why? Because there are truly so many people who care, so many people who fall apart inside when they hear the news of their loved one.. gone. Gone forever and purposely gone. How could we let this be? People who commit suicide want to end the pain, but they are so blocked in that they do not realize the effects they truly have on others. Suicide gets attention, but the actions that lead to suicide often go unnoticed. So as today is the awareness day, I just ask that people are aware of what and who surrounds them. If you're feeling down, look around!! You aren't alone in this struggle, so many people are willing to help. If you think someone is suffering, don't be shy, lend a hand and be their friend. Suicide is like giving up. We should not promote giving up, but fighting and standing strong in life and pushing forward to become who we want to be, to overcome the stormy weather and walk into the sun that we always have such a desire for. Although it feels like life never gets better, just wait.. be patient because it will, but first we have to push forward and go through the rough times first. Be aware. Don't let others bring you down because that is only letting them win. Never let them win ;).
