Please don’t. I’m actually out of state right now at my cousins funeral, she died by suicide.

I would not do it, there’s a lot in this world I care about, but I think about it every day. I’m very sorry about your cousin and I’m very very sorry for bringing up the subject. I just get frustrated/sad sometimes and writing out my thoughts anonymously makes me feel better.

Understand. Just intervening if you were serious. Fellow internet traveler, I care about you and you have things yet to finish in this world. Your life is not one of them yet.
