200 reasons not to die, or simply just 200 more excuses to live. You're reading this book because you want to find a reason to stay. After my book is complete, if none of my reasons are good enough to convince you to stay alive, do whatever it is you were going to do if you never found a reason why to stay. To become aware there are people out there with suicidal thoughts and to try to help the people who need it most. This is only to help the word become aware of suicide, and I know that this can't stop everyone but I'm hoping it will help you think twice before going for the knife.
