I can't stop thinking about suicide. It's something I've thought about for a very long time. I think how can someone feel like their life isn't one worth living... I think about how their families and friends, pets, co-workers, and the waitress at their favorite local diner feel. I think about the accomplishments that never get accomplished. I think about the dreams that never get lived. But mostly I just think.

It's something on my mind often. You are on my mind often. The empty feeling I got when I received that phone call, that phone call changed my life, is the same feeling I got when you didn't answer the phone. You were the first person I called, and I think about how bad I am hurting.

But soon my mind wonders back to thinking about how loved everyone is. How blessed we are to see another day; something we all take for granted. Something that some 44,193 Americans won't get to see. That's the thing about committing to suicide, it is a life changing commitment. It is a permanent solution, for a temporary problem.

Loosing someone to suicide leaves you in this black, empty hole. This hole that gives you insight to how they felt, alone and scared.No one should ever fee like that, no matter what your problem is big or small, it is important. You are important.

If you ever need anyone to talk to or to just to listen don't hesitate to email me at denoant@gmail.com or call the suicide prevention hotline at 1-800-273-8255.

They find that shirt that’s right in front of you, but just you can’t seem to find.

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
