I tried suicide for many times. My depression was bigger than me such that I don't like remembering that period. I've only done a flash fiction about that time. I didn't want the story to be about me because I feel I'm not yet ready to really write about that period. It lasted for years. From when I was 19 to 22. I've healed tremendously, but not totally. I believe the universe instructed you to embark on this series. I just feel seen. Like who told about me?

Depression is a killer. I'm not yet ready to talk about the suicide attempts, but thank you for your writing. It has really blessed my soul.

This is the most beautiful comment I've gotten in this series, man. I'm glad you healed and hope to read your story in its rawrest form someday.

Keep living, brother.
