my best friend tried so hard to stop me from killing myself by talking about how wonderful life is long past all other friends, but i tried to end it all anyway right in front of her and begging for her to understand before hanging up in frustration when she said “no” and slashing at my wrists. I was obviously unsuccessful and it took three days to tell her I was still alive. But my biggest guilt comes just barely a month later when she died in an accident. She got her wish of having me see how wonderful life is but I almost can’t live with the guilt of what it cost her; the one of us that wanted to live life and saw all the wonderful things about it.
