Don't kill yourself

Just watched Anna Akana's video where she talked about her sister's suicide and the emotional scar it had left her was indescribably painful and heart wrenching, I ended bawling my eyes out even though I had never lost a loved one because of suicide... And I absolutely admire her courage to put herself out there to talk about this huge issue - one that's the third leading cause of death among teenagers. I feel like I'm incredibly stupid and ignorant that a few years back, I would ask myself why would people want to actually commit suicide???? There is so much to live for, so many things we haven't seen and experienced, so many opportunities to take up and so many dreams to fulfill. It would all be wasted, wouldn't it? I hadn't thought of things like depression, addictions, bankruptcy and so many other things I had no knowledge of. Obviously I don't know of many social matters raised up on the news but one thing I know of is that killing yourself is a permanent way to end a temporary problem and I wouldn't even say it's a solution because of all the unnecessary confusion and emotional trauma your family, friends and people who love and care about you have to go through everyday of their lives. They have to cope with what you've left them with. It's totally not worth it at all. Even if you think you're at your lowest, please ask for help from anyone, you don't deserve to go through this alone. You are loved and if you dare say someone doesn't care about you that no one would even care if you actually didn't exist, you're wrong. Think again. I care about you and you can talk to me if you like via my tumblr - http://frithe.tumblr.com/ I know i'm not good with words but as long as I helped one of you, I don't mind spending more time on this post.

"Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your body." 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

"For none of us lives to himself alone and none of us dies to himself alone. If we live, we live to the Lord; and if we die, we die to the Lord. So, whether we live or die, we belong to the Lord. For this very reason, Christ died and returned to life so that he might be the Lord of both the dead and the living." Romans 14:79
