Thank you for the list, I think it’s useful. :) I will try some of these things when I’m feeling really down.

I’ve done a lot of searching lately for who I am, honest, starting a business, figuring out my meaning, mission, who i care about, who cares about me, what matters…. and the list goes on! you are practically ME from what I read. I’m so excited that you had the guts to write it all – page after page AFTER PAGE ! Further, you have a wonderful wife and family to support your insanity. Insanity is healthy! Of course, to a certain extent. Regardless, thank you so much. You put a smile on my face that isn’t even a smile, it’s like a body glow of fulfillment and happiness. Let me know if you ever need some authentic photography taken of you and your family, your events, whatever. You rock!

They don’t realise that this can be changed. As for me, I loved your post because I’ve been feeling really low and realized that only I could alter it.

My gf left me three days ago (yea boo hoo right) and I’m currently living on my own for the first time ever, I’m scared and upset and was contemplating suicide until a friend suggested that I read this. Your unconventional way of explaining why we feel suicidal in the first place, combined with the unique practicality of your advice was to me unmatched in it’s efficiency. Thank you for saving me man, thank you.

Nothing.  Just gone.  

Of all your suggestions, K & R are (to me) the most important.  You can be best friends with somebody and know them better than anyone else in the world, yet never truly know them.  The “if only” game is for suckers, so I won’t indulge too deeply in it here… but if only.

Life moves too fast, folks.  Stop and smile occasionally, it might just save a life.
