I've been thinking about the purpose of life a lot lately because there isn't much point in my opinion. Stupid evolution evolved our conciousness and now we can philosophise about stuff that we shouldn't have to...like the purpose of life. And I've now realised that I don't have a point to this blog because it's rather contradictory. But I digress...
Suicide.
There I said it. One of those words which no one is allowed to say. Suicide stems from depression which includes symptoms such as hopelessness, low self-esteem, no motivation, feeling irritable, anxiousness and not enjoying life. I am depressed. I feel all these symptoms a lot of the time and it's hard so sometimes I look on suicide as a way out. But it's not.
I know some of you are depressed and may be considering suicide, so I thought I might give you my reasons why I don't take my life.
1. The Butterfly Effect. I don't know why we have to go through life as I don't believe in god, heaven and hell. But then again, here we are, alive. And we have to play the hand we've been given. So you may as well make the most of it. If you continue your life, you have the potential to do something great. Potential. Everyone has potential.
2. You haven't even lived a quarter of your life. School years are the toughest years without a doubt. But you can do it. You can make it through to the other side and things will start to brighten.
3. Family. Friends. The heartache you will leave behind is not worth thinking about. Imagine if you lost someone close to you.
These things give me strength.
The Butterfly Effect.
It's all to do with the little things. You can brighten someone's day with a smile. You can change someone's life with an intervention. You can sit next to the line kid at lunch. You could save someone's life.
You could insult someone. You could judge someone. You could kill someone.
We're all guilty of it. It could be laughing at the kid who fell instead of helping them up. It could be a little insult that is the insult too many.
Anyone and everyone can get depressed. Even those kids who listen to the music you don't like. I would like to create a world where everyone could get along. And I know that won't happen but, it feels so much better to be kind than to be cruel.
And also, don't hate the artist, you don't know them, dislike the music.
It seems like love isn't real any more, the only thing that drives this world is hate now. Hope is all we have.
So on that cheery note, I love you all. And remember Gerard Way and the things he has battled to be who and where he is today.
The world is ugly but you're beautiful to me.
