I want to acknowledge how hard it is to put yourself out there in this vulnerable way to so many people.
With posting something like this, there can be a fear of "What will others think? Will they think less of me?" Well, any reasonable person reading this would NEVER think less of you; in fact, just the opposite. It makes your humanity expand & emerge even clearer and demonstrates a quiet bravery that is underrated in our world.
"It wasn’t that I stopped thinking about suicide. I simply kicked the can further down the road—I’ll live whatever life I can muster and kill myself at 40, I decided."
People go their entire lives without confronting their inner messiness.
Thank YOU for being braving enough to do so and sharing with all of us
Thank you for this lovely comment, Kiran! (And sorry my response is so delayed--I usually stop checking comments after a few days of publishing each post.) The more I've processed this, the more I realize that there are so many forces in life that want you to not confront your inner messiness. There is more profit to be made if we throw ourselves into workaholism, alcoholism, shopaholism, after all. Thanks for reading and supporting my journey in this--more to come xx
