#reasons to stay
One of the saddest, hardest moments of your life will be when you are crying and screaming to the world pleading for a sign.
A sign that you should stay alive for one more day, maybe a couple of days.
But that sign doesn’ t come. You stare at your phone thinking maybe someone will answer or someone will text you asking if you’re okay. You search endlessly for some reason to stay alive but you can’t find any.
That is probably the most heartbreaking moment when you can’t find any reason to stay alive when you need it most because you suddenly feel all this pain and you feel more alone than you’ve ever felt in your entire life.
That moment will break you and I don’t wish it on even my worst enemies.

your life is worth living no matter what this capitalist hellscape tries to tell you. your interests are important. your joy matters. your impact on others stretches far further than you could ever know. you are not forgotten, and as long as you're on this earth, you are never truly alone. i hope one day you feel all the safety, passion, and support you deserve.
until then, just try to remember... this pain is not meant to happen. it's not your fault. the world we live in can be better. it needs to be, and someday it will be.

fuck with your entire life, lose all your friends, take a risk, join a club you were too afraid to, gain new friends, change your entire appearance, change your beliefs, throw out all your clothes. Move. Get a new job. Change schools. Go back to school. Tell your parents the truth. Delete all social media. Delete every photo you have, throw away the past. Make new accounts, make new memories. Shave your head. Throw out beauty and face yourself as you are. Try something for the first time. There are so many options I promise you there is hope. Unless you’ve tried EVERYTHING I promise you there is a chance for happiness.

Reasons to recover #8
For my younger self. She deserves to feel happiness, love, comfort and safety. 💘🍂
She deserves it all after struggling all her life and feeling left out, unloved and alone, feeling like she didn't fit in anywhere. She deserves to love herself and feel love. ( crying as I write this, it's a difficult journey but I'm trying for her)

“I laughed.  I couldn’t help it.  The world might be vicious and treacherous and deadly, but it couldn’t kill laughter.  Laughter, like love, has power to survive the worst things life has to offer.  And to do it with style.”
Harry Dresden, The Dresden Files #6: Blood Rites (Jim Butcher)

a birthday reminder: write at least 10 reasons to stay alive. (11/02/2023)
1. friends, the ones who are really there for you, for better of for worse (special shoutout to the ones who have tumblr: @nxvermore, @lassoposting, - i would have never made this far without you and you know it - @bookersebastien and @hiraeth-doux - the gifts tumblr gave me and you’re never getting rid of me, sorry)  💖
2. the rain. stading in the rain. dacing in the rain. feeling everything bad go away after ten minutes allowing the rain to touch your skin.
3. movies, books, songs, tv shows: all the media that you love and still is going to consume. there’s something new every day, kid. stay here (also, go to more concerts).
4. travelling. that’s when you’re your happiest. when you’re travelling. remember that, save money, travel more. there are so many places you still want to see.
5. the extraordinary love you see in the movies, gosh knows if you’re crazy or not, but maybe it was not right with anyone else because that extraodinary love is also looking for you.
6. animals. i know you’re scared shitless of what you’re going to do when your dog dies but enjoy your time with him rather than worrying about the end.
7. your future kid. i know you’re terrified of dying alone because everyone made you believe you’re difficult to deal with, but you’re going to be an amazing wife and an amazing mother to a baby boy and i know you’re going to be so happy (the fact that you know it’s a boy when you don’t even have a partner is weird).
8. you’re writing this instead of doing something stupid. that’s a huge step.proud of us. we’ve come so far, my dear. look how we’ve grown.
9. this is the first time you’re not giving yourself a deadline. i think that might mean something.
10. nature. flowers, the ocean, the wind, the rain, the trees. recharge there.

Hey Parents, don’t take away your kids coping mechanisms if they’re not harmful
Writing is, most of the time, super helpful and healthy. Would you rather your kid be writing about a character going through harmful thoughts or hurting themselves because of it? Would you rather your child be helping a character cope or be dying because they don’t know how? 
Let your kids cope as long as it isn’t hurting them more than not doing that would be. 
Writing and reading saved my goddamn life. If that’s how it saves yours, I’m so f/cking proud of you. If that’s not how it saves yours but something did, I’m so f/cking proud of you. If you’re not sure what will save yours, know that I’m here and rooting for you. Check out the tags below in case you’re looking for something. I’m proud of you for making it this far. This is your sign to stay. To cope. To make it through. We’ll make it together

Reasons to stay, I may add to this list, I may not
I need to take care of my cat, no one will spoil her as much as I do.
I want to finish reading the Magnus Chase series. (Because how dare Rick Riordan leave that off on a cliffhanger!)
I need to finish my degree so I can help people.  
I want to visit France, England, Ireland, Scotland, Japan, and many more places.  
I want to be the 3rd person in my family with a doctorate to prove my high school peers wrong.  (Yes I exist solely out of spite.)
I want another matcha frapuchino.
I want to hangout with my friends more.
I want to spend more time with the people I love.  
I want to get married to a special person. 
I want to go without masks again, though I don’t know when that will be.

lead balloon (the tumblr post that saved me)
if this comic resonated with you, it would mean the world to me if you donated to this palestinian family's escape fund.
--
no creative notes because this isn't that kind of comic.
I know I don’t owe any of you anything but I still felt compelled to write about my long term absence. And I feel far enough away from the dangerous spot I was in to be able to make this comic. I have a therapist now, and she agreed that making this could be a very cathartic gesture, and the start of properly leaving these thoughts behind me. I am still, at seemingly random times, blindsided by fleeting desires to kill myself. They’re always passing urges, but it’s disarming, and uncomfortable. I worry sometimes that my brain’s spent so long thinking only about suicide that it’s forgotten how to think about anything else. Like, now that I've opened that door for myself, I'll never be able to fully shut it again. But I’m trying my best to encourage my mind in other directions. We'll see how that goes.
I am still donating all proceeds from my store to Palestinian causes. So far, I've donated over $15K, not including donations coming from my own pocket or the fundraising streams which jointly raised around $10K. In the time since I made my initial post about where this money would be going, the focus has shifted from aid organisations to directly donating to escape funds.
If you'd like to do the same, you can look at Operation Olive Branch, which hosts hundreds of Palestinian escape funds or donate to Safebow, which has helped facilitate the safe crossing and securing of important medical procedures for over 150 at-risk palestinians since the beginning of the genocide.
