“Another sign of suicide attempt which is mentioned in the leaflet is being silent. You stop talking about your problems, showing emotions or reacting to anything, you enter a hopeless path, with no return. I realised that whenever I screamed or complained, I wanted help but when I stopped acting out, my mind was already made up.”

“We went to my friend’s place to continue hanging out and I fell asleep on her couch. I was dreaming and I felt something poking me, as a writer I need to be specific and use description to take my readers to the place but I don’t want to take you guys there. I continued to feel poked on a part of my body that I saved for seventeen years. The poke later became touching, and I tried to stop it but I couldn’t. I thought it was sleep paralysis but this time the demon was human. I felt so powerless, like I was part of the marvel universe and someone had taken my power. I never told anyone about it, because they would blame it on drinking problems. I admit that I have a drinking problem, but I am pretty sure he has a ‘lack of humanity problem’. At least, alcohol does not change character.”

“I placed all of them in my right hand and I swallowed them at once. At that point, I did not care at all; I had already been dead a long time ago. I have died so many times in this life and looking at what people have done to me, I just needed to my life to be over.”

“I could bring the difficult childhood card but that would be a lie because I had the most decent example of a good childhood. I never lacked love, on the contrary, I think I had an excess of it because too much love made me incapable of seeing the evilness of this world. And when I did, it made me start to question all the good in this world.”
