Suicide is becoming a more common issue and I am glad that more awareness is being raised about it. There are more people than we know suffering in silence. It is easy to be dismissive of this issue at times bcuz of our judgments about the act. However, have we ever tried to understand what goes on in the mind of that person which led him/her to that decision. I feel were all too often discussing the opinions about ones actions instead. I find myself more drawn to this issue bcuz as a person who tends to isolate herself, I know what it feels like to be left alone with your thoughts. I understand that sometimes those thoughts take u to a very dark place and if it had not been for my faith who knows where that would have led me. I could almost bet that we all have one person around us or in our life that has been to that dark place and have thought of suicide, but will never confess of ever having those feelings. How many people have you heard of that had ever commited suicide actually express the saddness and agony that they had been experiencing before they took their own life? Some people go to that dark place of depression and have a hard time finding their way back. I know sometimes it may be hard to pick up on the early signs of a suicidal person but it is up to us to be accountable for each other. That is if we want to be apart of the solution. We need to be more compassionate, break out of our comfort zones, and start sharing our testimonies more. I can remember at times when I went M.I.A I had friends that would actually show up at my doorstep (yes..without calling) and express to me the love and support that I had. I can remember looking out my blinds and saying no she didnt, but at the time I didt know that was exactly what I needed bcuz that visit gave me just enough fuel to keep me pushing through. I am so thankful for those people and moments bcuz those were the moments when satan had me where he wanted me. the point is people are broken and you never know who may need you to throw them a life reserver. I am ready for God to use me are u?
