I have a friend who is fairly suicidal when it comes to most days and times. Last week he said to me that he knows people don't like being around him because he brings down the mood. I immediately understood what he was talking about because I too have been there. I told him that it isn't the case and that some friends can hold space and not be offended by the remarks of wanting to die.
He asked me if it gets better. I told him that for people like us it doesn't. For the people who are self aware and are using critical thinking skills and applying logic to scenarios it doesn't get better. We just get better at suffering. For some, suicidal ideation is an acute emotional state crisis. For others, it is a tool - a means to an end and a solution to problems. The hotline numbers and resources are meant to deal with people who are in the acute emotional crisis state, not the ones who are using it as a logical answer. It's very unfortunate that the system that is "designed" to help people is failing to reach so many that fit the criteria in a different way.
Ignorance truly is bliss and the dumbest people I have met are often the happiest. I think it's because they lack the mental capacity to navigate ahead in life as to what is going to happen later. The economy is fucked. The world is falling apart. The health care system is broken. What is the point? To work 50+ years of your life to never be able to afford vacations, a home, or to retire? Then you die? Why are we going to wake up day in and day out and wait to die if that's the case...?
Both he and I agree that it is a very moot point to continue with life if that's all that it ends up being. Then he said that someone told him that if he kills himself he is being selfish. Now, I know that I have a very contrasting opinion in that regard because I think it's selfish to place that kind of blame onto an individual that is obviously suffering. I think that the people who say "suicide is selfish" are a part of the problem and the reason that people don't want to talk about it. It isn't because they're feeling shame about being suicidal it's because they taking on the shame that everyone has given them around their opinions of suicidal people. I have lost a few people in my life to suicide and each time I was never mad at them saying they were selfish. My heart broke because I knew that they were clearly in distress and everyone ignored them. I was heartbroken because we have created yet another broken system and it isn't changing fast enough to slow down the crisis.
Yet, here I am now with a spouse that is tired of me feeling the way that I do. Stating that they need space and they can't handle being around it so much. Which is wild. You get glimpses of it and you think it's too much? How do you think I feel when I'm in it 24/7? I'm so sorry that it isn't convenient to you and that it doesn't make you feel good. Again, this is why I could align with how my friend feels. This isn't a one-off incident and most people respond this way. I want to believe that people don't realize how awful it makes us feel, but it most certainly is not helpful.
When I was 14 I had my life ruined. All of the hard work and dedication I had put into my life goals and what I would do as an adult. I was in every academic honors group, I was a student athlete, I was in honors and pre-AP classes, and I was 1st chair for cello in orchestra. I did volunteer/community work and I maintained a 4.0 GPA. I didn’t get accepted into the magnet high school that I wanted to, but I said it’d be fine. I was accepted into the other magnet school I wanted, but I declined to go. I didn’t know that I would have a 40 year old dude who was an educator be so jealous of me that he’d ruin my academic record on purpose. Boy oh boy, how badly I wanted to die. People said I was dramatic and that my life wasn’t ruined. People said it would get better, but that I had to stick around to see it. They said to trust the process and trust the “plan”. That the “things that are meant to be will be” phrases would prove true eventually.
Afterwards, I decided to move my entire life goals from education and my career path to being a wife and a mom. Now…that plan sounds great at 17, but I married a dude who would do nothing but cheat on me, gaslight me, and abuse me. So now at 21, I have a baby and no real way to support myself and child. I applied to my dream job - and was disqualified twice. I went overseas. I got an associates degree on the presidents list.
Now I’m 28 and at an agency that I settled for and it’s another war. I have extended my lifespan by two times that amount and I can tell you that it doesn’t get better. It never will. I’m too painfully self conscious, self aware, self inventorying, and intelligent. People suck. Humans suck. This economy sucks. The job market sucks. For people who can’t be blind and ignorant to injustices and for the people who can’t turn their brain off - it doesn’t get better. You simply get better at suffering. It’s all a scam.
Hating me won’t make you pretty

Hard Launch - Official
This is the official hard launch on this blog of my soulmate. It's kind of a big deal for me personally.
When we first started hooking up with each other I thought to myself that it was going to be a fun thing with no strings attached. That's always well intentioned, isn't it? Yet, here we are. 3 years into this and married now - after I swore that I wouldn't get married again.
I digress, this isn't going to be the msuhy love kind of post. This is going to be the exposed experience - the one where you (if you ever see it) get to see the power and potential you have.
In the beginning, there was the music side of things. The unofficial, but best, love language to exist for me. Not only did you find and send me songs that you found for me or felt that I would like, but you also sang some of your favorite love songs to me. That... that was the moment that I would have a shift in this dynamic.
I can't help but lead with the mush I guess. It feels almost impossible to not talk about it when I talk about you. It's like the background tabs of my brain are always open with that playing on various loops.
It was almost instantaneous that I felt the overwhelming sense of wanting you to dominate me. There was something soft yet leading about you. I didn't know where I would land with you when you helped me out in the last second and I asked to thank you with pizza and a hangout.
You showed up in jeans and a soft sweater - freshly showered. You smelt intoxicating. Rob let you borrow his car for the adventure. I wanted to watch one of the new documentaries or movies about a serial killer. I wasn't sure what you would prefer watching or if you planned on staying. I was wearing lazy comfort clothing after a shower because I figured I'd rather be the freshest I could if you decided that you were into me.
There was minimal feedback from you. You watched the show and you engaged me verbally to get to know me better. However, you stayed on the far side of the couch, leaned back, with your right arm across the top. Indifferent. Such a drastic difference from most people who are considering sleeping with someone. I continued trying to read you and what you wanted, but you were tough. I started to force you to move and engage me more with conversation and actions.
The entire time I was baiting you to see whether or not I could tell if you were attracted to me - to see if you were going to make a move to kiss me. Yet, even with pillow throws and sassy commentary you were still nonchalant and ambivalent. I started to think that you weren't into me and that I just wasn't your type.
Then something switched. We went from being on opposite sides of the couch to me straddling you. It was quite the flip of a switch. Even though I physically was on top of you I didn't have the same spidey sense I do with most people. I enjoy eating people alive and making them beg for mercy. Somehow, I felt like I was in the web you had spun and that I was playing right into it - I had a twinge of fear and I loved it. I wanted more.
I told you that I wanted to go into my bedroom and move from the couch. That bed was mine and mine alone. A sanctuary that I didn't just invite people to. I also told you that I enjoy rough sex. I left it vague for the simplistic purposes, but I also didn't want to scare you off. At the end, that was some of the best sleep I have had in my entire life. You had an aggressive side, and you also had a comforting side. I was hooked on whatever someone would call this drug is.
There have been a handful of times where I see a look in your eyes where it's dark and dominating. It feels like a fire is lit under my skin and brings me closer to the edge. I've always loved the darker side of...well, everything I guess.
I would let you do whatever you want to me. You could hold a knife to my throat and tell me to do whatever it is you desire. My mind goes blank when I try to imagine what I would tell you no for. There is a lapse in judgement when it comes to how attractive I find you.
You could chase me through the woods, pin me by my throat, and ravish me. Coming home in the middle of the night, while I'm sleeping, and waking me up - the only acceptable way to disturb my sleep. You name it, it's possible: knife play, gun play, breath play, free use, and CNC. I love being degraded and tortured. I love hearing how well I take it. I love, even moreso, hearing how much you enjoy how I feel. It brings out the feral fawn in me and makes me ravenous.
There is just something so special about someone who can earn and command the respect of me. That sounds cocky - and to a degree it is. I know that I'm more than most in modern times. I know that I have an inate ability to intimidate people without trying whether it be by competency or confidence.
I'm rambling at this point into my sleep deprived and slutty state. I hope everyone has a wonderful day.
Juansen Dizon, i am the architect of my own destruction
I think one of the worst things in life is that I always wanted someone to choose me. As a friend or a love. I’m indifferent, but I was always the one doing the chasing and choosing just to be left. Now, as an adult I’ve experienced it more and worse with higher risks. So I’ve forced myself to stop caring and ruminating on it. I’ve forced myself to stop being the initiator (I break sometimes). I don’t want “pick me” type energy. I just want to find the tribe of people who don’t mind who I am.
I’m not loud. I’m just me.
I’m not weird. I’m just me.
I’m not extra. I’m just me.
I’m not dramatic. I’m just me.
I’m not attention seeking. I’m just me.
Please? Please just accept me as like me as me.
