TW: Attempt to Suicide
DEATH can be described in many ways. But if you must look up the perfect word for it, it'll be pain. We all know that our time in this world is limited and that eventually all of us will end up underneath a thick layer of mud.
It is a curious thing, the death of a loved one. And yet it is always a surprise when it happens to someone we know. You never know when and how it happens which is scary to think about.
I think we all went through that scenario of losing someone. Laying in bed late at night and thinking how it would feel to lose someone very important to you. Imagine the pain we would go through until we wake up from that scenario only to realize that we've been crying through that whole thing.
You would never think it would happen to you until it happens and then you understand how much pain it will cause.
I must admit, I had my fair share of scenarios that I imagined in my head of how I would lose a loved one. But I never had a scenario that would prepare me for how it would feel to lose my whole family. Let alone imagine how I would takemy life from all the pain caused by the loss of my family.
Just a few weeks ago, I was this happy and confident girl that was ready for what life would give her.
The same girl who had her entire future planned. The same girl who wanted to go to Princeton University and finish her degree in Art and Fashion. The same girl who wanted to find her true love, have children with him, and then grow old with him just to see our grandchildren play in the backyard of our house.
But I'm not that girl anymore.
Now, I'm a girl on the edge of a bridge ready for what death would give her.
The same girl that had to pick coffins for her entire family a few weeks ago. The same girl that had to hold a speech in front of many people but couldn't because she didn't know what to say to all of them. The same girl who lost everything in a blink of an eye.
But this girl will die alongside her family who is patiently waiting for her to come and visit them.
Taking a deep breath, I started up at the cloudy and dark sky. Knowing they are up there looking down at me.
Maybe now I will be happy.
Taking my gaze off the sky, I lowered my head and looked down at the river beneath the massive bridge. It's October so the water is very cold. On top of that, the wind, that was blowing into my dark curly hair, was also cold.
I felt a gush of goosebumps go over my body as the cold wind flanneled my skin. It felt refreshing and calm to stand here and hear the water float. It almost felt like a dream that I didn't wake up from.
