They Said It Could Not Be Done.

I woke up. The day seemed like any other even though for some reason it didn't feel like it. The sun streamed through the sheer curtains in my room facing the eastern hemisphere and onto my face. Unusually for me , today I enjoyed the sun's tender caress across my face. A smile dawned. And that was unusual too. I normally woke up to Mum's

This evokes such sad feelings, because as a mother, I would be devastated if my child decided to commit suicide. Looking at it from the post mortem POV is a good reminder just how interconnected everyone is.

I totally get that feeling. Sometimes seeing things from post mortem POV helps change a decision. At that split moment of taking that decision we generally tend to think everyone would be fine without us. Would help knowing and realising it isn't so.

Even though I knew where this was taking me... this was a good read. Thanks for penning. Peace~~~D

I was in this mode where I was telling myself, ok, quick, try to read as many entries as you can right now, so you can get through all of them before voting closes. I am often a slow reader, so it can take ages for me to get to everyone. So here I was, reading quickly, and got all the way to the end of your post without realizing what was up and then had that amazing feeling when it all comes together, like when you really understand the twist of a story. So then I went back and re-read it all again, slower, with a new lens of understanding, and it was very cool. I like that it caught me off guard the first time and made me stop and slow down a bit and read it again. Very powerful imagery and woven together beautifully and tragically. Well told, for sure!!

The repetition in this is reminiscent of a recurrent dream, and the small changes that creep in to tell the story are so sad.

It is ... always is when lives are so meaninglessly and abruptly put to an end. Thank you for dropping by ...

So sad. Great example of the futility of ending it this way, when there is always more going on in life than one realizes. Gentle, touching management of a tender subject. Well done.

Thank you for dropping by to read and comment. I really do appreciate it. There sure is more to life than we can all fathom.
