I Can't Stop Thinking About Suicide

I can't stop thinking about suicide. It's something I've thought about for a very long time. I think how can someone feel like their life isn't one worth living... I think about how their families and friends, pets, co-workers, and the waitress at their favorite local diner feel. I think about the accomplishments that never get accomplished. I think about the dreams that never get lived. But mostly I just think.

It's something on my mind often. You are on my mind often. The empty feeling I got when I received that phone call, that phone call changed my life, is the same feeling I got when you didn't answer the phone. You were the first person I called, and I think about how bad I am hurting.

But soon my mind wonders back to thinking about how loved everyone is. How blessed we are to see another day; something we all take for granted. Something that some 44,193 Americans won't get to see. That's the thing about committing to suicide, it is a life changing commitment. It is a permanent solution, for a temporary problem.

Loosing someone to suicide leaves you in this black, empty hole. This hole that gives you insight to how they felt, alone and scared.No one should ever fee like that, no matter what your problem is big or small, it is important. You are important.

If you ever need anyone to talk to or to just to listen don't hesitate to email me at denoant@gmail.com or call the suicide prevention hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
