  • My apartment will fine me if I don't bring the trash cans back inside before 9PM, so I gotta be alive for that.

  • If you fail you'll live an infinitely worse life that isn't worth risking. And if you're going to make a rash decision then make one less rash like changing your entire name or applying to new jobs (amazon hires anyone) or dropping out of college

  • Life is experienced only by those who live it. The thing that keeps me not going through with it, is literally FOMO. As much as life is filled with things that suck, and things that I hate, I know there is the very real possibility that something new will come along that I will have regretted not getting to experience.

    When I remember the things that I have experienced since the time I tried to kill myself I'm high school, I am glad I didn't. I would've regretted not making the new friends I did, and meeting the love of my life, and all of the the great times I've had, even though the shitty times that drove me to the edge, still persisted.

    When I remember the things that I have experienced since the time I tried to kill myself in college, I am glad I didn't. I would've seriously regretted missing out on the freedom of independent living, and the parties with friends, and precious memories I've made in that time.

    When I remembered the time I tried to kill myself after loosing my 3rd job in a row, and hanging on the edge of poverty for just one too many times, I'm glad I didn't. I would of seriously regretted missing out on buying my first house, and never getting to meet my baby girls.

    When I think now, that life is shit, and not worth continuing, I remember those past times and know that it was impossible to know what could've been ahead of me, and how glad I am I stuck around to find out. So I keep on struggling through, because I know that there's bound to be some unkown thing, at some unknown time, that I will definitely want to be around to see.

  • Ammo is expensive and I can have more fun drinking and get the same result later down the road anyway

  • The one that kept me alive was that I couldn't make the world better for others, even in a small near-insignificant way, if I were dead. And it would be a bit pointless to die if everyone else is still going to live a life of suffering, especially as I can't be sure reincarnation isn't true.

  • The only reason I haven't kicked it is because it would hurt people I love.

    If there was some magical way to wipe the memory of my existence from all my friends and families minds I would be booking a first class ticket to hell immediately.

    I've done pretty much everything I can reasonably do as someone in my tax bracket. All my other hopes and dreams cost too much and/or seem unlikely to happen at any point in the future so I may as well check out.

    To be clear I am not actively suicidal right now, but I really think we ought to let people check out if they want to.

    I didn't have a say in being brought into this world and it feels cruel to force people who don't wanna play anymore to stick around.
