I'd been planning my suicide for two years when I decided not to follow through at the last minute.
Over the past decade, I've written poems, books, short stories, fanfiction and hundreds of thousands of words, but nothing felt complete. This collection of selected works was meant to be my final offering— the only thing ready for posthumous publication. It includes poems written in the months preceding the end-that-didn't-happen, some of my best teenage scribbles, and journal entries that chronicle the transition from death-planning, to having to recalibrate life.
All comments and constructive criticism are welcome. Thank you for reading.
