I didn't actually mean to add a photo, I just accidentally clicked on the add a photo link, so then I figured I may as well add a photo.

A new world. A whole new world. A wondrous place for you and me. No one to tell us no, or where to go, or say we're only dreaming. A whole new world. A dazzling place for us to be. But when I'm way up here, it's crystal clear, that now I'm in a whole new world with you. Ah. Aladdin. Robin Williams. So sad. Magic carpet ride. Death is sad. Suicide is sad because death is sad, because it feels like . . . like an untreated illness. It basically is. So yeah. Or maybe no. I mean, people who die by suicide often did have treatment. I guess mental illness is more terminal for some than for others. But it's just, death is sad. A new world. A new world. It seems sad that we are destroying planet earth. It's just overwhelming to even look at headlines. I never want to be someone who lives in ignorance, but it's too easy to get overwhelmed and hopeless if you just look at the headlines. I have to seek out hope for the future, for the possibility that we haven't already completely fucked the earth.

A very beautiful write up, it is true that those who died by suicide made alot of mistakes in making that chioce.
