ICT- This year's lounge Halloween party will be one to remember.
Oh.. Tess.
I'm really sorry. I know, and I'm sure that you have plenty of people telling this, but if you need to talk, just say.
I've lost two people to suicide, a very dear friend and a good colleague. Both cases were unexpected and traumatic. I won't delve into details. I only want to tell those that contemplate suicide to think again. You leave open gaping wounds with those you leave behind.This is a first for me.
I don't really talk about personal things, or give hints. I hold things pretty close. But September, as I've been reminded every day for the last month, is Suicide Prevention Month.
I can't tell you how clinical those words sound to me.
They're easy to dissect, easy to pick apart. But the issue that they address, well. There's no easy pickings there. If I could type out some reasonable explanation for why people chose that course of action - oh, I would. I would drop to my knees just for some small shred of paper, all for a why.
I confess that I'm angry. I confess that I'm hurt. Suicide itself is a horrible, awful tragedy. Suicide in youth is just that much more heartbreaking. And please, please don't think I'm using age as a devaluation tool. Life is precious. No matter what you believe in, it is precious. You only get one shot. And if someone along the way that you love throws away their shot - what do you do?
I think you can keep your mind open. I think you can reserve judgment. I think you can love without reservation. I think you can supersede bias. I think you can honor who they were with how you live your life. I don't mean to instill walls in your life - only to gently remind.
Life is short.
The dark can be deep.
There is a light.
Trust it, and most importantly - know you are loved. Always.
Always.
And this. And this.
ICT: I turned 30 today. Big fat Three-Zero. And I wish I had time to visit with people, but I'm trying to write a paper. I seriously wish I were able to focus and organize ideas better.
I confess that I have lately had a great many urges to push a sexy gal to their knees.
IC there goes the neighborhood. Draggy is back.
