Here’s what I know about suicide. I know that everyday isn’t a day you want to die but sometimes thinking about moving on to a better place is all consuming. I know that sometimes you’re lonely in a room full of people who don’t know your pain but they don’t because you hide it or can’t understand it. I know that sometimes you can’t sleep because thoughts, worries and concerns are overwhelming while other times all you want to do is shut your eyes until another day comes. And, I know that often when you stop crying or complaining it’s because you think you’ve found a solution to your woes. Sometimes that is to keep fighting and other times it is to take control of your own mortality. Ive chosen to stick around because I also know it leaves those who love you with doubt, disappointment, sorrow and unanswered questions.

Rest In Peace Anthony Bourdain, Kate Spade and countless others
