Hey.

It's been a while.

I know you're struggling.

We all are.

Life is hard. This silly little rock we call Earth is our only home and it's full of so many people, people just like you.

But even though we all share common traits, we all struggle with fitting in.

It's this struggle that poses a daily battle, a struggle that lasts years upon decades.

People don't usually like talking about it, and I know that's how you feel because you simply blame yourself for everything that happens in your life.

You don't see the light in life; only the pain, the suffering.

You're scared that if you open up too much, people will leave you alone to wallow in your misery.

But suicide is never, never the answer.

I wish you knew how much I need you here. I hope you know how bad it hurts to hear that you would rather die than continue living this life, on this floating stellar hell.

You just keep quiet, bearing the pain alone because you don't want to let your loved ones in.

You think you're not enough. But everyone is, because we all do our part to help each other, value each other's opinions, each other's lives, each other's priorities.

Just know, whenever you're breaking down, crying in the silence, thinking you're all alone in this world, just know....

We love you. We need you. We miss you. It hurts us to hear that suicide is your only option, that you are all alone in your trials. But it's not true. We value you. Even if I can't see you here, can't give you a hug, or even if you are struggling with losing someone else, just know that I will always be here, throughout all your pain.

I can't imagine going through a suicidal phase again, but it appears I am. But I know I have people who love me, who would be devastated if I cut my time short. I also know people who are wrestling with all these thoughts, who feel as though leaving is their only option now. Abbi, Maks, myself even, we need to realise just how much value we hold to others as people, as loved ones. We need to see that for the sake of our families, our friends, we can't leave, and that's okay. We don't need to. The chain of suicide and self-infliction that would follow would cause so much pain. We have so much to live for guys. The question is: are we going to take the plunge, or save our families and live this life for them?
