    Don’t… I’ve been there. Tried it even. And after living a bit longer, I can finally say with certainty that I’m glad I survived. Will there be a heck of a lot more suffering? Yes, of course. Life is suffering. That’s the whole point. And when you find something worth suffering for - and you will, someday; I didn’t believe it either but it is true - you’ll see beauty in it, value, reason to continue. If you think you’ll hurt yourself, call 988 (in the US), whatever your number is there. Or call a friend. Yes, they really do care. No, it is absolutely ok to bother them at 12:30am. IK it’s what we all hear and sounds dumb but it really will help. Get help. It’s a hard step to take, but I wish I had earlier. Heck, DM me if you have to and have literally no one else. I can’t promise the pain will go away entirely - it won’t. But it will get better. Life is worth it - even when you can’t see that all the time.

      What did you find that made it worth it?
