As I stand here, looking up into the sky, the stars glistening in the night I wonder. I wonder if the choice I am about to make is worth it. I wonder if I'll come to regret this choice. I wonder if I'll care at all. I feel the tears stinging the corners of my eyes, the burning sensation of my resolve beginning to quaver. I force myself to believe that this will be beneficial for me to find happiness..to find peace and quiet. I take in a final, shaky breath, looking over the edge of the bridge to see the familiar 60 meter drop. One more step, and I'm free of the pain, free of the struggles, free of the cruel horrors of this world. Just one more step.
I close my eyes then. "I'm going home." I whisper softly into the cold winter night. As I lift my right leg over the edge, a wave of nerves crashes into me suddenly. I quickly push it behind me, as I realize I've come too far to back out now. With no more thoughts, my heart racing and pounding against my chest like a sledgehammer, I let go, falling into nothingness. In that final second, that very minuscule second, I smile.
