That’s a very elusive thought, speaking as a suicide survivor. Finding a love of being alive again is difficult after you’ve given up on it before. Thanks for making this piece.
Very much so. In a similar camp, having flirted with death so long. I didn't know I could feel joy in being alive until this. No matter how dark life is, there will always be a better day!
I can't remember if I commented from an old account, but thank you for drawing this, especially as a fellow coyote coming to this realization🖤I'm glad you are well
reposted this yesterday i think
but i was just thinking about it again
cause ive been feeling this and its terrifying how cool it is ?
im so glad its something more people get to experience
LIFE CAN BE GOOD... LIFE CAN BE GOOD ACTUALLY!!!
FUUUCK THIS IS EXACTLY THE FEELING I HAD 3 YEARS AGO
I THOUGHT I WAS CRAZY FOR THINKING THIS SHIT IN A WORLD WHERE DEPRESSION WAS SO STRONG!! I FOUGHT THE DEMONS INSIDE ME AND CAME OUT ON TOP AND I HAVE TO GIVE IT UP IN A FEW DECADES???
YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY I AM TO SEE THIS
I could have wasted my entire lifie but for some fucking reason that wasn't good enouugh, I was so happy and safe knowing there's nothing after death, complacent in my position in life and my power
And then suddenly????? "I can't do this to myself"
I don't know how long ago I saw this piece on Twitter, but it is powerful enough in my eyes that I have purposefully sought you out on this platform. I hope you have a wonderful day and I'm very excited to experience what else you have to contribute ✨
Thank you so much for the kind comment- it's wonderful to know this had such an impact and it is touching to know you took the effort to find me. Welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay, for however long you're here <3
About two years ago I defeated my depression. Since then I've had that thought ring in my head, and I've taken ownership of my life in a way I never have before.
I value it for the precious thing it is now, rather than going through it with apathy.
I would hang this on my wall in a heartbeat if it was ever in print.
I spent the past 10 years struggling with PTSD, and this was the first year I've been able to share the same sentiment.
Hah, I've been considering making it a print and adding it to my store! Perhaps it's finally time to do that with my next print order this month.
I have a similar experience, PTSD and all. Harrowing, but finding that peace is groundbreaking.
The universe doesn’t like when I try to feel this so when I approach it, something fucks up and takes it away again. I’m trying to fix it but it’s not really working.
