maymay: Sometimes wanting to kill yourself just means you don’t want to live the life you’re living. You can change your life with that power. What the hell, you were about to lose your whole life. Why not instead lose your school, job, pretenses, fears, adherence to society’s standards, shame. I have found some of my suicidal episodes to be strangely liberating in that way. I wouldn’t take back any of what made me who I am today. —The Icarus Project Stay alive. This encompasses so much of what I have felt, and still feel today.

Stay alive.

This encompasses so much of what I have felt, and still feel today.
