quote
“I stood in front of the stranger again. Now that I saw him in a lifeless state, I noticed that there was no change in the world around him after he had gone. Babies were being born on the floor above, their cries of life breaking off and floating down through the open window. Outside, trains still whizzed on by, the passengers oblivious to the tragic events that unfolded here every day. People in the next room laughed. Life went on. Life went on and the world continued to turn.”

“Strange to think that the same life that is so full of wisdom, happiness and love can be condensed into nothing more than a brief dash between two dates.”
― The Dream To End All Dreams
― The Dream To End All Dreams
“You’ve suffered a long time, yet you continue to stay, not because it’s easy but because you don’t want to hurt the people around you. Every day of your life so far, despite the pain, you have chosen to stay. People rarely talk about this side of suicide, but every time you make that decision not to end things, you’re making a sacrifice that most people can’t even begin to understand. You’re not a coward, you are not taking the ‘easy way out.’ You’re fighting a battle every single day, and you’re doing it out of love. I don’t think you realise just how brave that is. Not only is it an act of incredible selflessness, but it is something quite extraordinary.”

“Death is cruel, so cruel that even just its presence causes suffering. The constant anxiety, sadness and irritability, knowing that nothing will last forever. That all the things we do, make, and achieve, will vanish or be forgotten, including us. All this from the quiet, miserable, senseless neighbour that often visits when we least expect it.”

“I never felt close to death myself, but I knew it better than anyone else. I sat with it every day, stroking its hand, chatting to it, even laughing with it. Yet, I never quite understood it. It was as if death had employed me as its secretary, and as such, a certain level of respect was to be given.”

“The sun had disappeared behind the hill and the sky had faded to violet hues. This once common sight of my childhood had now become a simple reminder to me. A reminder of the past. What I could have done, what I should’ve done and what I could’ve been. I often wondered if I was wrong to honour the memory of the days that had slipped on by. After all, the body of today had fallen, but it was still breathing. Was I wrong to mourn something still alive?”
