Tomorrow needs me because I need to marry the man my heart calls home. My arms need to hold the children we haven't had yet. My voice needs to tell our love story to curious grandchildren who need a wonderful story. @twloha #WSPD2018 #TomorrowNeedsYou https://www.instagram.com/p/BnmYnNVgi4Q/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sct4t7a9p42g

Being one of those who escaped Suicide, Like many who Survived from Suicide or escaped from committing suicide. As I always learn about this day, This day means a lot to me inside my heart. I remember those dark days when times we're that tough & feels like, The World was against me & felt that no one was there for me, I remember having thoughts running thru my mind of what Life would be for everyone that knows me if I take my own life & I'm not around? I remember my Family members, Close Friends & even my Teachers back in High School heard that I was Mentally Depressed that I wanted to take my own life. It was the hardest period of time in my Life that impacted Me & Impacted & concerned others around me like my Family, Friends, People that knew me for a long time & others where I would receive messages from them like, "Please don't kill yourself!", "Please don't talk like that" & even they opened up and told me to call or text them & even i would get the most powerful message where it broke me down completely...."We Love You Eric!". I don't share this with anyone too much, But now I know that I want to help those who are struggling with Depression & who have thoughts who contemplating with Suicide. As a Suicide I Thank My Lord & Savior of Jesus Christ Everyday that I'm still here today being Happy every single day, Pray to God every Morning before leaving my House to change the World & the People around me & out there & ever since i started going to Church 2 1/2 Years ago, I haven't had any thoughts of Suicide ever since. My message is...It's not worth ending your Life. Life is too precious & you mean something to this World. You mean so much to your Family, Friends & Love ones and the People around you. God created you for a reason. He sent you down here in this world for a purpose. If you think that you can't do it...Tell yourself this....You CAN do this. You got this!!! God got you in anything that your heart desires. You deserve to be here. Tell your Family, Friends, Loved Ones and those around you that you love them & even take the time to hug them. Because you never know what tomorrow will bring. #WorldSuicidePreventionDay #WSPD2018 #LoveEachOther https://www.instagram.com/p/BnkluoYllwi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1sw4cospt6hfr

As World Suicide Prevention Day comes to a close, I want to share a few more images of hope from my heart to anyone and everyone who might be struggling right now. There are times when we are pushed to the very edge of life. This can happen at the end of a prolonged, life altering, deep depression due to countless circumstances. It can follow a single harrowing, traumatic experience. It can be both, many times over, even. Whatever the cause, PLEASE take a moment to take a deep breath, and find your voice within. Use that voice, however faint, to tell someone, anyone "I am not okay. I need to talk. I need help." I've been there. I know how hard it is and can be. I also know there is no shame in seeking help. We have ONE LIFE. It and YOU MATTER. In the depths of my depression(s), I could never have possibly imagined all of the beautiful things, people and experiences that were to come into my life once I got through to the other side. It took a lot of hard work. Yet, here I am. And I can say that life is beautiful and filled with meaning. Please hold on throughout this night. Hold on, period. The light is coming, I promise.

This Headache Is Killing Me

“How’s it going Sarah?”

“I’m alive.”

That’s my current response when friends ask me how I’m doing.

Weird right? It seems as though I’ve almost dodged the question entirely, but the truth is, I don’t know the answer. 

What I do know is right now there is air in my lungs, my heart is beating, and I’ve got a massive headache that won’t go away.

Really, the only way I know I’m alive is because of the headache, the whole lung and heart thing just sounds poetic.

This dang headache is killing me but maybe it’s also keeping me alive.

My mind is everywhere per usual - is that what causes a headache? 

I should take some Tylenol but then that’s just another pill on top of the others which isn’t appealing no matter how much it could help.

Now I’m just rambling but at least I’m alive to do so. 

Isn’t that great?

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. If you actually know me, you know this day is one of the most important days of the year to me.

This year though, it is hard and I don’t want to do it - I don’t want to tell people how much life is worth living. 

I don’t know why this year is different. Maybe I haven’t addressed my own feelings. Maybe I’ve been too busy telling others they should stay alive that I have neglected to tell myself that I too should stay.

Maybe today is just an off day and gosh, this headache is killing me.

What I do know is, I want to write songs that people hate but I love because that’s me in the song.

I want to drink coffee that people think is gross but I push through the bitterness because I’m stubborn and want to be different.

I want another tattoo that people will say they like but actually hate and say I’m crazy for getting because I’ll hate the band in a few years. 

I want this headache to go away.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day and I hope you stay for your headache.

I hope you struggle and push through because some day it’ll be worth it - at least that’s what I’ve been told so let’s find out if they were telling us the truth.

It’s easier to just end it, but I’m stubborn and can’t take the easy way out.

I’ve written the letters before, but there was too many to write. It’s crazy that the moment I gave in to the thoughts and finally starting writing those letters, was the exact moment I realized I had to stay. I was too lazy to write so many letters and knew I owed people a personal explanation.

Maybe it’ll take you writing letters too, but I hope you get lazy like me and realize people care about you.

If nothing else, let’s just make it to the day the headache goes away.

When that day comes, you can sit with me and we’ll re-evaluate over that coffee that you hate.

So until then, I hope you know that headache is worth having because it means you’re still alive too.

Today, September 10, is World Suicide Prevention Day. Suicide is preventable. Not all have the courage to reach out and say the words "I'm feeling suicidal" or "I just want to die". If the behavior of someone in your life seems to have changed in a way that causes concern, REACH OUT TO THEM. It can be a simple "Hey, how are you doing?" that can start a conversation that can literally save a life. Smile at a stranger and say hello even. That seemingly unimportant acknowledgement can even help someone hold on for one more day. PLEASE always remember that we are ALL fighting battles on the inside, often hidden behind our smiles. It takes so very little to be loving and kind. #wspd2018 #suicidepreventionday #bethereforsomeone #TALK #reachingoutgoesbothways #youreworthit #weareallconnected #nooneisworthless #survivor #itcangetbetter #instagramdaily #instagramhub #instahub #instalove #instagramphotooftheday #instagrampicoftheday #picoftheday #photooftheday #potd #selflove #selfcare https://www.instagram.com/p/BnjYOFegwrH/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=16nnkyr0db45e
