No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same.
A lot of you cared, just not enough.
But you can’t get away from yourself. You can’t decide not to see yourself anymore. You can’t decide to turn off the noise in your head.
Sometimes we have thoughts that even we don’t understand. Thoughts that aren’t even true – that aren’t really how we feel – but they’re running through our heads anyway because they’re interesting to think about.
It’s hard to be disappointed when what you expected turns out to be true.
When you try rescuing someone and discover they can’t be reached, why would you ever throw that back in their face?
I hope you’re ready, because I’m about to tell you the story of my life. More specifically, why my life ended. And if you’re listening to these tapes, you’re one of the reasons why.
A flood of emotions rushes into me. Pain and anger. Sadness and pity. But most surprising of all, hope.
