I'm writing this as a private thought.  The publication of this (or not) shouldn't be dictated by its security, but by its audience.  If anyone reads this and finds value, it's public to them.  If enough people do, it is public anyway, and if it was really good and worth the reading security wouldn't matter anyway.  It would find a way out.

I doubt this will be that kind of good.  But maybe someone will take a look when they're going to delete my final traces from long dead servers and subroutines.  Or will some of this live until the very end of the internet itself?  One can hope I guess.

Are writers relaxed or preoccupied?  As a general rule?  You probably don't know.  I don't.  Does it even matter what other writers are?  This one is anxious and preoccupied and obsessive anyway.  Which is all that matters at this point one would assume.  The nature of a story teller is that of absolute control of what is said.  Others can only interject with permission.

So to the reader; I'm sorry, you're stuck with me.

Death is an absent friend

Most of you will read this and be aghast.  Some might be terrified, horrified, and even traumatized by the words.  The shame of suicide means that even when we talk about it we try to evade, dissuade, distract, and somehow avoid the cold hard truth.  That it comes to all of us.  And only a handful have the opportunity to control and decide their final outcome.  The rest of us either revel in our lives and love them so much that we never want to die, or, like myself, are cowards who don't know why they pull back.  I don't know what keeps me from that final leap.  What stops me from holding my hand to the fire.  But it makes me ashamed.  Ashamed that I think about it.  Ashamed that I lack the conviction to go through with it.  Ashamed to tell anyone that I wish I wasn't so afraid.  Ashamed to tell people that I want to die.  And don't.  And those that have never been there can't possibly understand.  What it means ...
