Even the strongest person can find themselves in the middle of a situation or an event that their mind, heart, or body is not equipped to deal with. If you throw on some stress, a breakup, a demanding boss or client, and some financial issues, you can quickly end up in the middle of the perfect storm. Events can feel like they were lined up in a path aimed directly at you and sent to break you and tear you apart inch by inch. Eventually, you do not even recognize yourself, and you cannot even remember, much less concentrate on the people around you or the people that love you. We do not always make the best decisions with a mind this hurt, lonely, and clouded. We end up making decisions that, at that moment, we believe might end the pain. I have heard it said that people that take their life are selfish, and I’m afraid I have to disagree. It reminds me of the saying that if you know, you know, and you don’t, you don’t. You cannot imagine what someone is thinking at that moment that their soul hurts so badly that they want it to stop existing or at the moment that they had finally gotten so lonely that no life seemed better than this one. I am not glorifying the act or the event. I am merely trying to bring light and understanding into the events that may lead someone to this hell. It is almost as if you have gone blind and can no longer see anyone, and they definitely cannot see themselves. Just a short time ago, a beautiful young man found himself at this very point. No one saw it coming, and no one heard the cries. It was not that they were not listening; it was just that this sweet boy had not yet cried out loud enough for them to hear him. His pain was as deep and real as the scars that it has left on his mother, father, and siblings. This young man would be 18 years old today, yet the birthday celebration for a beloved son will happen without their beloved son. For this kind-hearted, funny, and spirited young man, I would like to challenge everyone to listen closely, watch intently, and reach out to anyone that may not have found the voice that will allow them to cry loud enough to be heard. -te amo mi dulce bebe https://suicidepreventionlifeline.org/
