My children....some days I think they would be better off without me though. Yep....like today damn it!
 
I decided to live. Until I made that conscious decision in the spring of 2008, the pain made the permanent choice of suicide a very possible one for the me as I could see no way of coping with the the problems that plagued me. I held on and kept working. I realized that those issues were not as permanent as I had once deemed them.

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem...

Finishing my PhD (the theory goes like this: I've come this far, I want to finish it!)
Seeing more of the world... there are still many places I've not been and want to see.
My weird little bucket list
Harry Potter... maybe someday I'll find the wall to Diagon Alley and discover that it is all real! (ok, so that one's not really keeping me alive....)
 
The game of life is hard to play. I'm gonna lose it anyway......those are words to a song I have stuck in my head. And it's true. We struggle and fight so hard to stay alive, yet we're all gonna die anyway. So I'm sitting here asking myself what's the point?

So....I need this thread right now....

What's keeping me alive?.........

Revenge

1) My wife, I don't want her to suffer anymore losses

2) Our cats, they would miss me terribly

3) Because maybe one day we can rebuild and get the all the things that we've lost back
 
What's keeping me alive?

Well, forever people have taken on huge challenges of all kinds. Life risking, major pain and suffering: climbing mountains, exploring and sailing the seas. Sometimes these people die doing their challenging games. Or maybe it's about self-actualization, or defiance. Maybe it's a quest for transcendence? Anyway it feels like a journey, or a quest. It is a challenge. A huge one of major life-changing importance. Lots of people love and need challenges, so maybe that's it?
