Suicide: I will be heard

It's about 3:47. Usually I'm dozing at this time but somehow i could not get the sandman to come over today. 

Any-hoo, I go to the usual YouTubing and come across this song by the band - The Amity Affliction.

Pittsburgh is a song which speaks about Joel Birch's (vocalist) suicidal tendencies. If you have the time, then check out the video pasted in the link down below. It's amazing!

The video and the song in it self, makes people reflect on their personal lives. I myself suffered a great dark time in my life and in all honesty, 2014 was the darkest year of my life and brought me to a point where — to me — the thought of dying was a growing alternative to dealing with the pain and anxiety I was suffering. However, by the grace of God I’m still here smile emoticon

I know deep down inside some of those people who mock the subject live in fear of what they do not understand. It is easy to be on the outside of a situation behind a computer and make bold judgmental statements. I stand in strength knowing I had the guts to tell my story, so to quote a great song by HateBreed “I WILL BE HEARD.”

-The vain attempts of the few do not out weigh the large majority of you who reached out to me in support and solidarity.-

That my friends was a powerful sign to me! At the very least people are talking about the topic for better of worse.

So I say to you, reading this: You are not alone in this world. If you are depressed or suicidal, talk to someone! If not your parents, then your friends — a relative. Even just a random person who will listen. You will be amazed at the relief and clarity you can get from just simply talking about what you feel or think.

This life is fleeting and beautiful, with so many possibilities. There are ways to start your life over or heal from a traumatizing situation. God is real; he does love you regardless of how much we humans confuse, berate or dismiss his existence. We all come from different places and walks of life, but we all need to be loved or feel like we have a place in this world. If you have a friend who is suffering from any sort of depression, reach out to them, let them know you are here for them. Show love to those you care for and tell them how you feel, it may be your last chance to help them.

I would personally like to thank those people who were there in my time of need of whose names I will not mention. Thank you for your prayers and support.

Muchas Gracias mi Amigos !! :D
