thoughts on life
Life is ephemeral. "This Too Shall Pass" holds true of every situation you experience: we all go to the same place.
I think that because it's so temporary, we have to fight for it to be as good as we can make it. You are important by virtue of being here, and even if you move on from the world, you are still important.
This too shall pass. We will grow and honor Natalie's memory.
for those wondering about the X Clacks Overhead thing, since I Had to look it up too,
http://www.gnuterrypratchett.com/
Her name is Natalie Nguyen. She was, and is loved. She existed. She mattered. She is gone, and missed, but not forgotten.
Just a reminder to admins, if you want to note your remembrance of Natalie and your use of x-clacks-overhead head here https://xclacksoverhead.org/listing/the-signal
some thoughts on depression and suicide
If you run out the ability to fight yourself, try to keep yourself around your friends and family who care about you. As long as you rely on others you can take a break from fighting yourself.
That's why we gotta fight this kind of thing together. Just don't judge those who lose to it.
Take care, friends.
some thoughts on depression and suicide
Suicide is a permanent solution for a temporary problem.
Depression, especially for folks in the LGBT+ community, is a battle not just against yourself, but against society and the things that cause it.
It's so important to fight for yourself, but sometimes all you can do is fight *yourself* to stay alive. And sometimes you lose.
It's okay if that's how you have to go. It can be an act of reclamation vs society. But if you do, you'll be missed.
suicide prevention
it is well documented that a suicide in a close-knit community can "ripple," especially in the painful, difficult times immediately afterwards. please, please take care of each other.
