I was looking at some faded scars of mine, and it got me thinking.

People often say, "Be careful" and that Every life is precious. But do they really mean that? I mean, come on, they don't really monitor how they act, and they always think you can tell if someone is Okay just by the markings on their skin. But you really cant, it's much more than that. It's how someone feels, You can't assume everything is just fine, Because most of the time... It's not. I know that I used to feel as if I was a burden. As if I could do nothing right, I constantly told myself, that I wasn't even good enough to deserve to live. 

Now you're probably thinking someone noticed, I got help, and all I have left are scars as reminders not to do it again. Well, you're wrong. You see, I had this realization, that even though I'm worthless now, I would be worse because if I were dead, I would cost my family money, I would cause shame, I mean someone who was raised in a Christian family committed suicide? Wow, how bad does that family have to be? I still slightly hate myself, not as bad as I used to, but still bad. The point is, if you think that someone who turned away from suicide isn't depressed anymore, you should make sure with them, don't let them suffer quietly... not as I did.
