I’m going to tell you a story. I knew this boy, his name was Dustin. We met when I was 13 and he was 14. We went to school together, we clicked on pretty much everything, he was really my best friend. i loved this boy like no other. we were together 24/7 and he knew everything there was to know about one another. We spoke often about depression, both dealing with it we shared stories of wanting to take our lives. On more than one occasion, no thinking he would do it, I shrugged it off. Well, the summer of 06 i had planned on going to Texas. The last day of school, he was absent, he walked to the school to see me home. He looked me in the eyes with a fear i won’t ever forget and said, ‘I need you here, please dont go’ I was selfish and said “Dude, I’ll be back in a month, you’ll be okay.” and walked away. A month later I got a call that he had hung himself, his note read ‘No one cared enough to stay.’
I literally felt my heart break. I loved him so much. More than i could put into words. At his funeral there were over 200 people. He thought no one cared, I saw people shaking, crying, screaming, begging and pleading for him to come back. He thought no one cared. Everyone cared. It sucks that sometimes people have to be taken away from us in order to appreciate them, but it happens. People in those moments show how much they care. This boy wanted to die, and i understood because I did too. Depression isnt anything that can be fixed overnight, especially by death. When you want to kill yourself you really think no one would care, when in reality they do. I’m asking you to stay, because I care, i care about your life, your goals, your happiness, your sadness. I care that you get better because you deserve to be happy. It’s a right. As do others. Death isn’t a solution, not now, not ever.
