Five years ago on this day, my best friend committed suicide.

As excited as I am for today, I can't help but to remember my friend and what she meant to me.

When one thinks suicide only affects their life, they are only fooling themselves. It affects everyone. It's been five years and it's STILL affecting me. It's not something people just "get over." If you know of ANYONE (or even yourself), get some help. There are people who do want you or, someone you know, to be here.
Oh my, that is tough (hugs)

Why are you excited for today?

When you're in that dark place, you're not thinking of anyone else. Your world becomes very small and crushing, and all you think about is how to escape.

I'm truly sorry for your loss. I've been both in your position, and hers, though my attempt was unsuccessful. I still think of the friends I've lost as well, and back to the time were I may have been one of them.

I ll trust you My God I'll trust you" over the situation of my cousin thanks to all the prayers God comforted me I will trust him no matter what its not perfect life but I will trust God he is good and faithful as the song says . thankyou guys sovmuch for praying.

I feel so lazy when I watch America's Got Talent. There was a teenage girl on there who is a contortionist and can shoot a bow and arrow that is on fire with her foot.

You know what I did today? Laundry.
Hey laundry can take talent.

How often would the skill of needing to shoot a flaming arrow while tied up like a pretzel be needed in the real world? People always need clean undies though. You win.
Yeah, what he said. :cool:

Which reminds me, I need to start a load of laundry if I'm going to have any church clothes for tonight.

Oh sweetie....
That is awful :'(
I have had many commit suicide and reminders of that suck...
My friend Lizzy killed herself, and I felt awful after and started having terrible nightmares of her killing herself and me not being able to help.
Her death left me in a horrible place. I know how you feel. When someone hurts them self or decides to end their life it affects the people around them drastically.
I am so so so sorry to hear about your friend!
Hope you are doing okay :/

I'm grateful for the new guy at work. He's a good worker, and we seem to click, which is helping me to maintain my sanity with how the job has been lately.

I should cut back on coffee... No I shouldn't.

Renting an apartment out here is insane! The rental market is absolutely gouging people. I'd like my own space, but am considering a private room instead and─ ZERO WHY ARE YOU USING SUCH A CREEPY AVATAR?!

shine, my heart goes out to you and your late friend's loved ones.

What really troubles me is when I hear preachers rant for a whole half hour about how wicked it is for someone to even think about it, and they never once are thoughtful enough to tell the people that they are loved and that there are wonderful reasons to not do it. Many of them were born in ivory palaces with silver spoons in their mouths and have never known the depths of despair that real people often find themselves in. I am sure that trying to scare people out of it is not helpful. It exposes their complete ignorance about the situation.

If anyone out there is thinking that they cannot go on for another day, I want to encourage you with the good news that the loving Lord Jesus is hoping that you will just look up and talk to Him about it. He is the answer that you have been looking for.

you know what makes me sad?

when a good friend changes once he/she starts a relationship with another.

i have a friend who would always answer my texts (it was usually church related). but since friend started dating, friend doesn't answer as in the past. i'm like "i know friend read it!!!!!!!" haha. maybe it was a fail text. maybe friend mentally answered. maybe friend just didn't wanna answer. idk.

oh wells.

You know how it works, friends dating are friends hating on everything else but dating:p

I'm so sorry, no it's not something you ever really get over. Thinking of you and praying.

oyster67: actually I have never heard a pastor or any preacher do that. Where did you hear this? Wherever it was, I probably wouldn't go back there.

I say the following with as much sarcasm as I can possibly muster:

I am soooo glad I diced up so many green onions to put in my tuna salad for lunch. I am really enjoying the frequent, melodic, fragrant belches that come from my mouth.
