Talk someone out of suicide
What would you tell your child, friend, family member, etc if they came to you saying they were suicidal? Some people don't have anyone to turn to so let's give them a place for some hope. One rule: No negativity. Suicide isn't a joke and it's not something to be ashamed of or made fun of.

Life is Beautiful

I'm sorry that you're in so much pain that you want to leave everything and everyone behind. I am not going to pretend to know exactly what you're going through, but I understand feeling like there is no other option available. I've been there.

I swallowed half a bottle of pills, chased it with a bottle of grey goose. But somehow, I'm still here. The only explanation is that it wasn't my time to go. Maybe you don't believe in fate or second chances, but let me tell you, I am so happy that my life didn't end that night. I would have missed out on so much beauty in this world. I never would have travelled overseas and spent a summer in Europe. I never would have met my husband. We wouldn't have had our beautiful daughter.

Beauty can be found anywhere, even in the smallest things or the oddest of places. You just have to know where to look.

Tell me, what about your life is beautiful?
