At times, I need help remembering...
Our thread of life is so essential to the tapestry of humankind.
What does choosing to live mean to me?
When you take your own life, the world does not simply go on as it did before.
I’m asking you to stay alive because the pain doesn’t get to write your ending.
Shaking, with tears streaming down my face, I whispered, “It’s never quiet.”
It lives in the in-between moments, the ones where you’re not quite falling apart, but not yet feeling okay.
I probably won’t say, “I’m in a mental health crisis right now” with some laid-out spreadsheet of exactly what I need.
I was desperate, rightfully so, to save my own life.
Depression whispers like the all-knowing authority, especially when I'm tired, when I feel like giving up, or when I've made a mistake.
Along with the highs, I also let others see a glimpse of my lows.
