I just watched a movie about a 15 year old boy who kills himself. I wasn't aware of what the movie was about when I began it.
Yes, the character, Kyle, was a jackass. He called everything "fag" and "gay" and "retarded." He thought that women were objects "to fuck" and not actually people with feelings. Yes, he was a jackass, but he didn't deserve to die.
Technically he didn't commit suicide, it was an accident. But still.
In life, there can only be one thing that we are completely positive about. WE ARE ALIVE. That's it.
Life is the greatest thing in the world. Without it, we can't do anything. It just makes me furious when people throw this amazing gift away.
Two years ago this November my friend Lorin killed himself. He took a gun. Put it to his head, and he pulled the trigger. He escaped from whatever it was he wanted to escape from. His family and friends didn't. We were left with a shattered family and no reason for a dead child.
So if you are reading this, and you think about suicide. Don't. Even if it seems like life is stupid and sad and horrible, it will get better. It always does. There's no reason to rip your family and friends apart because you decided to take the quick way out. Just don't do it.
Keep your glasses half full,
