Keep talking.

One thing I've come to learn is that in life, a man is either lucky (and therefore ignorant in his bliss), young (or died young and never knew), or "one in a million lucky" if on his dying day he doesn't experience in some shape, form or fashion what every other man who ever lived experienced in the form of grief and tragedy and hard times. Whether it be losing a family member, friend or acquaintance to drug abuse, suicide or losing a job, we all walk the same walk in our own little way.

One day, don't be surprised when these words come back to haunt you and you have to question whether or not a man that you hung your star on was as self-centered as you so unabashedly, so completely and so finally claim he is- claiming like you're claiming right here and now.

Keep talking your ignorance.

Keep talking your denial of the realities of life.

You'll learn. Guys like you always do.

You always do.

This is not the way suicidal people think. They often feel that they have a burden that they don't want to put on others. They feel that suicide is their way of helping loved ones not have to deal with "my" problems. "I'm sacrificing my life to make it easier on you. It may hurt you in the short term, but it's better for you in the long term."

These are the ones that you don't see coming. They don't want to display that there are issues, so you don't know that they are there.
