Kate Spade's Suicide Is A Reminder That No One Is Immune To Mental Illness

In This Article:

By now everyone has probably heard about the suicide of famous fashion designer Kate Spade, I personally did not buy her stuff as it was too expensive for my price range, but I have heard about her and seen photos of her stuff, and if I did have money I would have probably bought it. But that is not the point of this article, the point is that no one is immune to mental illness.

Whenever someone successful and famous commits suicide there are commenters on social media saying:

"Why would they do that? They had everything they were so successful."

"They couldn't have been that sad, look at them."

Well, it doesn't matter how much money that you make in a year, money is not the key to happiness.

Anyone can have depression, no matter the gender, race, religion, sexuality, no one is immune to it.

I feel like people making rude comments about her need to think, what if her family sees those comments? How do you think they will feel? Why do you even comment on them if you don't have anything nice to say?

You never know what someone is going through, sometimes even the most successful, happiest, and richest people can also be the saddest people out there, just look at Robin Williams! You would never have been able to tell that on the inside he was hurting.

The point that I am making is that you should be kind to people every day, whenever you make someone feel guilty after an attempted suicide it only makes the person feel worse, what you need to do is be there for them and be the support that they are going to need.

If you guys ever feel like you aren't worth anything in this world, you are and you are not alone, you have so much to live for and think about all of the people that love you and want to see you do amazing things.

If you guys are suffering from depression, it is not your fault at all. Don't let anyone tell you it is, you are valid, it is never too late to ask for help.

In honor of Mother’s Day, I have been thinking of all the things my mom does for my family and me. Although I couldn’t write nearly all of them, here are a few things that moms do for us.

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!
