Dear Anger

Suicide: Why Ask “Why”?
...we never really know what is going on in other people’s lives. Why would anyone decide that committing suicide is the BEST or ONLY option?

By the time January comes around, we are so disoriented from the chaos that the last six weeks seem like a blur.
So I ask you… If we really stop to look, how is this different from everyday life?
