Yes, I do mean that The Great Escape that people think about when they lose hope. I’ve been there and I know so many people who have been there as well. I lost a couple friends to it.

IT IS NOT THE OPTION! IT IS SELFISH AND YOU ARE ONLY THINKING OF YOURSELF AND NOT THE OTHERS AROUND YOU WHO LOVE YOU AND WANT TO HELP!

P!NK’s song called The Great Escape helped me when I had my last thought. Please for the sake of all that is good, don’t go through with this.

I can understand how when the edges are rough

And they cut you like the tiny slivers of glass

And you feel too much

And you don't know how long you're gonna last,

But everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over,

Find a way to make the hurt go away,

But everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over,

Like you're trying to scream underwater,

But I won't let you make the great escape,

I'm never gonna watch you checking out of this place

I'm not gonna lose you

'Cause the passion and pain

Are gonna keep you alive someday

Gonna keep you alive someday

I feel like I could wave my fist in front of your face

And you wouldn't flinch or even feel a thing

And you've retreated to your silent corner

Like you decided the fight was over for ya,

Everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over,

Find a way to make the hurt go away,

Everyone you know, is tryna smooth it over,

Everyone needs a floor they can fall through

But I won't let you make the great escape,

I'm never gonna watch you checking out of this place

I'm not gonna lose you

'Cause the passion and pain

Are gonna keep you alive someday

They're gonna keep you alive someday

Oh, Terrified of the dark, but not if you go with me

And I won't need a pill to make me numb

And I wrote the book on runnin',

But that chapter of my life will soon be done

I'm the king of the great escape

You're not gonna watch me checking out of this place

You're not gonna lose me

'Cause the passion and pain

Are gonna keep us alive someday

Yeah the passion and the pain

Are gonna keep us alive someday, someday

There is absolutely no reason you need to do this. If you ever feel like you need to talk, I’m here. There are so many people here who want to help.

Whenever life gets rough and you lose hope… Go to someone and talk. It might hurt to share, but trust me when I say that it is worth it. Don’t retreat to your silent corner because the urge only grows. Life has so many things to live for. Live life for the thought of love, the thought of a dream coming true or the thought of saving someone. Your life is precious and don’t let it waste away. Four times I’ve thought about it and twice I’ve almost succeeded. I’ve changed my outlook on it because of so many things. I have dreams and so much more.

Life is about being happy and feeling amazing. Be an example and change those thoughts. Save a life because you never know how you will be repaid. It might just be the greatest thing you do. 

Thank you for your song Pink.
