Acknowledging and de-stigmatizing Suicidal Ideation

We need to face our darkness because we cannot outrun our shadow.

Recall and recount the moments that almost were and we were almost not.

A reminder of all the worst points in our life that we have overcome
to remind us that we will overcome this one as well.

Wear your survived pain as a badge of strength, almost deaths as a reaffirmation
that you are alive – and very much in control.

There is a beauty in darkness, as every golden light must have shade.
It’s not a contradiction but a confirmation –
a balance that allows both to continue to exist.
We must love both to find harmony in contradiction.
