Watch. The. Video. Way more emotional than reading this.

Fidel Castro was deep in his younger days. Good on him.

Fuck that. Why do people always seem to assume suicidal people have lots of cash. "Quit your job and travel." Okay, but I'm poor.
ballsohard2202
As a poor person, it's not as expensive as you think.

You can still hitchhike or do crazy crap without money. You might die or starve, but hey...that's not exactly any worse off than you were.

Wow. I've never known anyone close to me who went through this but this touched me. (Pt1)
pookie21
I think at some point in their lives most people have had THAT thought in their heads. Like why be here. Living.

What a terrible day for rain...

I like rain. Especially thunderstorms

That's not how stand up comedy works. Keep trying though.
captaingibbs
Bad joke, every post it's the same poor attempt
smokeyfantastico
Maybe if you stop posting the same shit over and over the jokes would change

Time to grow up smokey

Time to stop bringing everyone down captain

This touches me deeply. I'm about to do something similar. When I was a teenager, I could never see how anyone would want to kill themselves
imeanitcouldhappen
but I spent a lot of time wondering what I'd do if I ever got to that place, where slitting my wrists sounds better than continuing on. --
imeanitcouldhappen
--I made myself a promise, that if I ever got to that place, I'd get in my car and just leave, try to find something worth living for. --
imeanitcouldhappen
See something, at least. I've never seen the Rockies. It's been about 20 years since I made that promise, I just turned 35, and now I see--
imeanitcouldhappen
why someone would make that choice. Most days, the only thing keeping me from doing it is knowing how badly it would hurt my brother, but--
imeanitcouldhappen
he's getting older and I hardly see him any more. So I'm keeping my promise. I'm packing up, and heading west. (although with some planning)
TheHypnotistsBackpack
Powerful stuff. I wish everyday that I could have somehow changed my brother's mind. Miss you, bro.
InitHello
JesusEnoughAlready
Instant lump in my throat when I read your comment. Damn feelings.
cathyp14
I'm so sorry. It's one of the most heartbreaking things in this world. I'm incredibly sorry you and your family went through that
PudgyPinkiePie
I'm here for you.
bolognaunderwear
I can relate. Been almost 21 years to the date, something I've never got over and never will. He left behind 4 kids, never saw it coming
captaingibbs
What a tragedy for the family
missbelled
It nearly broke my parents when my half-brother... well. He was just 24. I was 4 or 5. I often wonder how things would have been different.
captaingibbs
Luckily they still have you, sorry for the loss though
captaingibbs
I'm sorry for your loss, sending digital hugs
TheHypnotistsBackpack
Thanks for your kindness. Also thanks for posting this. It truly resonated with me.
captaingibbs
Glad to hear that it meant something for you
HappyHighway
My brother did the same almost 2 years ago. I miss him every day.
captaingibbs
I'm so sorry for your loss

My friend killed himself last year... I finally have started to get through it..I was amazed that I had not started crying while watching1/2
aseriesofunfortunatebutcompletelyavoidableevents
Then that "I came" and I lost it... Thank you for the share.
captaingibbs
Thank you and take care of yourself!

Fullmetal alchemist?
C137MrMeeseeksLookAtMe
Yup but it's "It's a terrible day for rain" "What do you mean? It's not raining" "Yes, it is" "Oh, so it is"
ChrisTallant
Ooh, you're right.. I desperately need to re-watch that series. It's been way too long.
C137MrMeeseeksLookAtMe
Do you prefer original or brotherhood?
ChrisTallant
I prefer original for sentimental reasons, but both are damn good.
