I won’t do it, but I think about it everyday.
The story
Imagine one day you wake up and your friend doesn’t… It’s unpredictable, is it not? Just the other day, you two are hanging out, joking around, laughing ‘till your stomach hurts. Everything looks fine from the surface, but maybe deep down they aren’t.
I think about it everyday, but I won’t do it.
Imagine one day your family starts noticing the fact that you haven’t gotten up yet. When they do check on you, it’ll be too late. Your mother would find your room all cleaned up, letters neatly arranged on your bed. She’d find her daughter pale and cold…
I think about it everyday, but I won’t do it.
Your friends would be broken by the news. Maybe you think that they don’t really care. Nobody will ever know the truth, but there are people who are actually sad to see you go. They’d think back to the day before… How you’ve hung out with them, laughed with them all day, treated them to a meal.
I think about it everyday, but I won’t do it.
Nobody saw it as goodbye. After all, the happiest person isn’t someone to typically worry about, no?
I think about it everyday, but I won’t do it.
I often hold myself back. I’m not brave enough to do it, but I’m also not strong enough to endure it all. I may not do anything about it, but it’s all in my head everyday.
I think about it everyday, but I won’t do it.
You’re not alone.

I get where you're coming from, and as intense as those feelings are, there's this irrational belief that not acting is a sign of weakness. But let me flip the script for a second: maybe holding back isn't about lacking courage, maybe it's an act of immense strength. Sometimes it's like wearing an invisible armor; no one realizes what you’re carrying every day. People who seem happy on the outside often feel alone in their struggles (it's frustrating being unseen). It's like living in two worlds at once. But dude... reaching out, even just a little, can change so much more than you know.
