Dear Suicide, you are a a permanent response to temporary problem, and you are a solution to nothing. I just want to say right from the outset, there is nothing good or Romantic about you, Suicide. You are a tragedy. You are also, in almost all cases, preventable. [...] There is a correlation between depressive personalities and creativity, but people who are suffering from paralyzing depression don't create anything. So it's very important to me whenever we discuss a writer whose life ended with suicide that we note that people survive depression.

I swear I'll read a poem by some dead person who feels the same way I do and just... for a moment, I stop hating myself and the world and I just remember: we're all going through the same things to different levels of intensity. So just remember to do right by the people around you and to love yourself the best you can.

I need to buy a book. But i need to buy a book with a beautiful cover. But i need money to buy a book with a beautiful cover. But i need a job to get money to buy a book with a beautiful cover. But a job is a lot of work to buy a book with a beautiful cover. So I should rob a bank to buy a book with a beautiful cover. But robbing a bank is more work then getting a job to buy a book with a beautiful cover. So instead i should-

TO LOVE SOMEONE LONG-TERM IS TO ATTEND A THOUSAND FUNERALS OF THE PEOPLE THEY USED TO BE.

The people they're too exhausted to be any longer. The people they don't recognise inside themselves anymore. The people they grew out of, the people they never ended up growing into. We so badly want the people we love to get their spark back when it burns out, to become speedily found when they are lost.

But it is not our job to hold anyone accountable to the people they used to be. It is our job to travel with them between each version and to honour what emerges along the way. Sometimes it will be an even more luminescent flame. Sometimes it will be a flicker that disappears and temporarily floods the room with a perfect and necessary darkness.
