Suicide - Don't leave the world to soon



When a person chooses to take their own life, they take away so much more than that.


They don't think it will matter, they don't think they matter, so the decision may sometimes becomes less of a burden for them & an easier choice to make.
But for every person that thinks no one will care, there is someone. It may be someone close to you or it may be someone whose life you have touched at some point but there will be someone and in following through with your decision, you will affect their life irreversibly.
I know it's not a decision you've made lightly, I know you've thought about it a lot.
It's these thoughts that are a burden.
They can consume you. But it's not your only option.

The ones you leave behind will be left with that burden, the questions no one can ever answer.
They will be left with the consequences of dealing with someone else's actions.
You may think, sure they will be sad for a while but they'll get over it & forget about you soon enough.
I promise you, they won't. I won't lie to you, it will haunt them for the rest of their days.
They will learn to live with it, they will learn somehow to cope...but it will never, ever leave them.
Some days will be worse than others, some days will just be unbearable, but they will endure & they will try to live life as best they can because they know they must.
There is only one thing in this life that can't be changed & that is death.
 
Death comes to us all at some point but it's the living of life that makes a difference to the world to others, not our death.
Don't leave the world to soon, don't leave a trail of heartache behind you.
Leave your mark in a good way and don't leave your burdens behind for others to carry.
There is always someone there for you, always someone willing to help. Family, friends, strangers....someone!
You have to open up your heart, mind and eyes to living.
The responsibility is yours and yours alone.
 
Every day is an opportunity to make a new begging no matter what happened the day before.
You can change this irreversible decision before it becomes too late & you can find people to help you achieve the change you need to help you create new thought patterns but change always begins with you. I know, it's not easy.

I don't know you, you don't know me but I ask you to consider.....I want you to live.
