give me some reasons why I shouldn’t die this week and i’ll give you reasons why I should. It’s not an argument, just a learning perspective kinda. Nobody here knows anything about me, yet I could live a life extraordinarily similar or different than yours.

Because you are a human in a planet that is beautiful. And because that world needs to have more people who are smart enough to wait for "their time". I don't mean to be insensitive, I just don't think it is smart to kill yourself when you haven't experienced everything you can about this world.
ReplyHi, Alex. Because you're worth it. Don't do this to yourself! Talk with somebody... there are tons of resources out there.
ReplySo, hey Alex, you can call me Cyan. I'm a wandering soul searching stuff like happiness. I haven't found it and been on this path for a long while.
I don't know where you come from but here are my reasons why you should live:
1. Your life has value
I know that sounds cliche but let me explain. I have been battling mental illness for a while and have/had dark thoughts frequently. However, I know there are people who would miss you if you go. No one can replace you.
2. The world needs you
I don't know if you are young or not but the world still needs you. Use your hands to create something. Use your wisdom to teach others. Use any skill or talent to good to others. By doing this you can get a satisfaction of making an impact in the world around you.
3. There might be something better next week, month, or year
I don't know your background, but there might be something better next week or future. Circumstances are always changing. What is now might be something different in the future. It takes a leap of faith but we will never know until we experience it.
4. You are loved
No matter what has happened know that you are loved. I am writing this note because I care about you. I may not understand everything in life but I do know that your life is still worth being here. If you're young or an adult, you still have lots more time to grow, learn, and live. I am trying hard to learn to love myself. That's why I'm still searching. That's why I'm still holding on.
ReplyQuite frankly anyone could list you reasons to live but none of them mean anything unless you believe they do. Look for the few good things in life and treasure them.
Replyas much as you might not think it, somebody notices you.
