Why I'm Here
In my suicide research I found this argument against doing it. I copied it to my journal read it many times when chronic pain and depression visited. It bears repeating here.

People often turn to suicide because they are seeking relief from pain. Remember that relief is a FEELING. You have to be alive to feel it. You will not feel the relief you so desperately seek. If you are dead.       Samaritans.org

Looking For Some Where
Let go of the past the anger the fear embrace them as if they were a child. Let go of the edge of the pool the lift the reef the airplane. Let go of the memories of those passed on or those who will. Let go of broken promises and lost loves. Let go of all perceptions and judgments. Live only to live.

Going Somewhere
It is easy to say Let Go. Developing the ability to truly let go is a lifetime process moment by moment. Something I have been avoiding and drowning my anger and fear with my best friend John Barleycorn. Alcohol a word the English language borrows from Arabic. The slang term for it in the Arabic speaking world is Sadiki meaning friend.
