Reasons to Stay
I often think about the things that keep people alive. As a suicide survivor, I have found multiple reasons to stay, and that’s what is most important. I have so many now, it scares me to think about losing any of them or giving up on any of them. And that’s how I know that i’ve turned the tide of my thoughts. For a long time, my brain would try to trick me, but I know now it's no magician and I have all its secrets anyway. I am heartbroken for the ones who can't navigate their own brains tricks. Maybe it’s worth it to offer up a few reasons to keep going, maybe it'll help save a life.
