I used to not understand why people would want to end their lives

[LastDayOnEarth]

I used to think that life was worth living no matter what, but nope, once reality hits you that's when you understand

I was way too young to understand what suicide even is and when i finally understood what it meant my mind was already made up on how much a life is worth The only thing that changed after understanding suicide is that i can end my own life and i dont need to wait for it to end on its own.

I had the opposite experience really. More or less, as soon as I found out about suicide- probably depicted in a TV series or film, I thought it was an understandable thing to do. Despite being taught it was religiously wrong.

Do you wish you could go back to the time it felt abhorrent? Were you genuinely happier then or, just more willing to comply with the 'rules'? I agree though. Once we'ce gone through the mental gymnastics of accepting suicide as a solution, I think it's hard to go back on that.

Wish I could go back to when it felt like something I'd never do, but it's true, once you accept it as a legitimate path it's hard to go back

In a hundred years, you and everyone you have ever met will be dead. Death is the only thing inevitable in life, whether you want to die or not.

Yeah once you've gone through a period of your life considering it, even if you get through that it can lower your threshold for doing it in the future.
