testimony from others who were in your exact mental state who have "seen the light"
Seeing the light:
the glow of leaves changing color after rain
crisp air in the morning
thunderstorms
the immensity of the ocean
72 degrees in some old town in Mexico with bouganvilla and a beer con limon
a bath and candles and wine and maybe a cigarrette
not needing beer or wine or cigarrettes
snuggling with yer SO
feeling A-OK without an SO
well-being--relatedness, autonamy, (something else)
dogs--St. Bernards named Sophie especially
: )funny funny people
Space Ghost, Simpsons, Conan, Red Dwarf
neat little pretty things
doing things for old people and handicapped and homeless and everybody else
cut little kids
eating your mamas pizza
given a bad family life, developing extended family but knowing your not alone, even if that's this site
"crushing your enemies" my boyfriend adds ; )
Note: all these things i couldn't appreciate in a bad state of mind but now that i can i realize that i'm so happy those who cared, including some sleeping form of myself, didn't let me die.
