The sad reality of life...

It is heart breaking when you see someone you care about is struggling, aching, and is incredibly miserable and has become mentally unstable .. I know i am not the first to go through this, and there probably are plenty of sadder stories, but it is a first for me.. Because I am out of things to say to console, and I am out of options to bring any type of comfort or happiness.. and it just makes me wonder if they'd be happier to not be in this life anymore .. It makes me feel guilty as hell to think death can be a good thing, but these are the sorts of thoughts that get into your head with all of this going on ..

I think.. some people get so wrapped up in their present obstacles that often they forget how many options they really have.. when I felt suicidal I decided to abandon everything I owned except for a backpack of clothes, my easel and guitar to go far away to a place I”d never been where no one knew me. I vowed to never return. I didn’t even tell most people I was leaving. It was hard. I won’t lie, but also finally freeing and it’s the Best choice I ever made.

If death is on the table so should trying to start completely one’s life over first.
