Life As Me
Oh, wow. This is sad news. A boy, not too long ago commited suicide...and he only lived about two doors away from my aunt. It's sad, really because it makes you realize how short life is. It's weird, because I was reading his obituary and it seemed like nothing was wrong. He had a family that loved him, many friends, and was the star athelete in track, wrestling, and football. Though, he alwasy thought he had to be perfect. His mom said it was probably secret built up emotional distress from past relationships. All this makes you realize so much. And it's funny, he is...or was, in the same situation as me. Come to think of it, it could have been me, in that paper. But, by God's grace, remnants of sanity (laugh), and people to talk it through with, I live today. It's just, what if I did drive the knife deep enough? What if someone didn't see through my mask? What if...I was him? I just wonder all these things, and how he seemed so like me. I wish he were more like me, becasue then he'd be alive right now. No one deserves to die before their time...no one. Even if it's self inflicted. I believe, your time of death isn't written when you're born, or by chance or beleif...I believe that your time of death is when you choose it to be. Because, either way, suicide, you choose to kill youself, getting shot, you choose for it to happen because you went to that place, car accidents, you choose because you weren't careful. Anyway you look at it, it's your choice. I'm probably not making much sense am I? I don't care...since when do I? It just makes you realize how fragile life is...

    ... Why have so many people been committing suicide lately? It seems all that you hear in the news and from people is that they know or knew someone that either committed or was planning on committing suicide. As far as we can prove, you only have one life, so why do people waste it like that? There are always chances to make things better for yourself and others. Always things that can make you smile. And if you can smile at life, you can live it. People need to cconsider these things and stop being so selfish to not only themselves, but the people close to them and maybe even God. If there really is a God up there ((Which I believe there is))and he gave the human race life, we should respect it. It's a gift from the heavns not something to be thrown down the drain. If people would take the time and energy to find out if something really is bothering another person, I'm sure the suicide rates would decrease. If all those depressed people had someone to talk to.. someone that cared... someone that could make them smile and realize what beautiful thing life is.. maybe they'd think twice about ending it all. How can you walk outside on a cool summer morning and look out at our world and not realize how beautiful it is.. how lucky we are to be alive at all. Imagine if you had never been born. It's truly sad and I believe that suicides could be the death of not only our generation but the entire human race eventually. We just need to notice and care more about our peers. Take the time to talk someone who looks sad, donate to charities, make a frowning kid smile, talk to people, and even if they don't want to talk.. just be there for them. We all need to have each other's backs. I love almost everyone and I would rather die than see one of my loved ones hurt enough to the point where life looks like Hell. I think I'm kinda just rambling now, but this has been concerning me more and more, recently. Three of my other friends have told me about friends and peers who killed themselves....
    *sigh*
    If you ever feel that way ever again Rhema, know that I'm here for you. I'll do whatever you need me to do. Nothing should make you feel that horrible. Nothing. Please tell me if that urge ever wells up inside you again. I want to help you. I love you and I owe you. You saved me. I hope you stay on the sunny side of the street. Don't let yourself be that kid. You're not him and you're not dead. As you said, life ends when you want it to, so don't let it end early. Some people make mistakes. You know how to avoid that mistake, and if you ever stumble please talk to me.
    I'm sorry you had to hear that news. Suicide is never a plesant topic.
    By the way, I disagree with you on something. Life does not ALWAYS end when you want it to. If some guy is driving his wife to the hospital because she;s about to give birth and a drunk teenager hits his car off the road and he dies, it's not his fault. He HAD to be where he was. He had no control over the teenager.
    Well.. that's all really. There's another one of my trademark novels.
    Hope what I wrote held at least a little meaning for you.
    Much love,
