Hello hello there my fellow readers and writers Its me again your lazy writer lazysnail. I just got home from morning jog/walk. I'm with my friends earlier I didn't take a picture of us but more on the environment. For it is lovely and out me at calm state. I think I'm experiencing muscle sore again because I rushed my stretching earlier. That's why I'll take a rest tomorrow and have a lot of sleep.

Look at this beauty, the weather seems great. Few clouds in the sky and the sky is kinda color orange because the sun is starting to come up. I'm not actually good in photography I'm still trying to learn how to take the best shot possible in each portrait.


Six words poem

"Kill yourself"

They said,

He did...

Simple words can do a lot of things to one person. We don't have any idea who's in your sourrounding experiencing depression. The jolly person might have a problem in her mind. The one who's smiling might just hiding his tears. The energized person might be mentally and emotionally exhausted. The kindest man might be the loneliest and the wisest might be the most damaged. We can't identify which is which. For this depression and anxiety that attack the people. We keep on hiding it to everyone especially to our loveones for we don't want to pass the burden of our problem.

The word suicide is no joke at all, so we shouldn't bring it up to anyone like saying "pakamatay ka nalang" (just commit suicide) even though it was said with the intention of a joke, we still should consider the people who we are saying it. We don't fully know their background. They might take it seriously or the phrase "just commit suicide" will gonna keep on bugging on their head at night and marked on their perception.

There's one person I know, he's a friend of mine (let's hide him with the name of Juan) . We're not actually closed to each other we just talk sometimes when we met. Like 1 to 2 times per month. I know him and he's a great model for everyone. He's 3 years older than me and I aspire to be him for he has a vision in his future. He has great marked in school bing an honor student every semester and achieving a lot of things. He's not that jolly but he smile, we laugh sometimes and play basketball. We don't know why, but it was 5 years ago. The whole community of us was shocked and wake at 4:00 am in the morning by the shout and cry of his mother. Everyone get out for we get curious. We don't know what actually happen and because of my curiosity I follow the crowd and look for what happen. I saw them carrying the body of Juan. His mouth is full of bubbles and he's lifeless. I then got questioned myself, 'why?' "what's the reason?" It bugs me for whole day upto weeks. I don't know why. He's the one I aspire and I treat as my older brother. I can't find any reason until her mother found a note. At his funeral awake, her sister read it. The letter is full of gratitude, thanking everyone for what they did to him on how he enjoy his life. But the last phrase he said answer my question it says "pagod na'ko pasensya kana ma" in english it says " I'm tired, I'm sorry mom". A lot of people cried and burst in tears I didn't. He's reason is acceptable but still he must asked for help.

SUICIDE IS PREVENTABLE

Author's message

I know I said it before and I'm gonna say it again and I'll keep on saying it until almost everyone in this world hear it. We don't know which is which, who's having a problem or who's facing a depression, no one wants to open it up. Because they're scared to be judge by others. And so we're going to have a hard time identifying them, but one thing we could do to save them. Smile, a simple smile will do. Smile with your family, smile with your loveones, smile with your friends smile to a total strangers. With this they will feel that someone notice their existence and will feel alive. Smiling spread positivity, when you smile they will be affected by it and will also smile and even smile to another stranger. Smiling is contagious we should do it.

Kaya talaga dapat careful tayo sa mga binibitawan nating salita because we don't know what that person is going through. This reminds me of one student I know before, he committed suicide after what he heard one afternoon at school. He was joking told by his friends "go ahead, pakamatay kana total pagod kana diba", and so he did. Nawindang talaga lahat sa nangyari.

I think this is an excellent advice you are giving. We should be kind to everyone because we don't know what they have in their hearts. Being kind doesn't take anything away from us but it does give us. It gives us much more of God's blessing on us.

Everything I said is base on my understanding from my observation. That smiling will save someone's life. Smiling to others make us have positive perception and so to them

Truw, depression is a no joke. When notice something odd to someone we should really ask them directly. Minsan kasi makikita mo din sa mata nila ung totoong nararamdaman nila ee. Yong all smile sila na kala mo'y walang problem but deep inside they are dying. Though what Juan did is a big sin, di rin natin sya masisisi kung piliin nya ang suicide than to talk it out, maybe he just can't take ir anymore. Sayang, bakit mas pinili nyang eend ang life nya 😥

I could've help Juan if I just knew it, but it's too late. Yes po commiting suicide is a sin but then that's his choice po, maybe he's having a fight with his mental problems. W ala po syang sinabing problema niyan bukod sa pagod na sya

I am sad to hear about Juan, he was tired mentally so he committed suicide. I agree we are unaware about what people are passing through, so be wise and never let your beloved ones die in this way.

I'm so jealous of this poem; why didnt I think of it. "kill yourself, they said, he did". Damn...you're a really good writer. Sometimes we really have to understand the person we're talking to before saying certain words, irrespective of whether we are joking or not. Some people tend to take things too serious and will take the "kill yourself" as an adice and the best solution to whatever they're going through at that moment.

Thank you for your compliment it puts smile on my face while reading it. I'm just a mere writer who wants to write anything. As far as I know, suicidal people already thinking of commiting suicide for a million times in their head. So by saying those phrase, it will just gonna make them believe that it is okay to do it. So we should stop in there. And instead help them

By saying that to others, we have already killed them in our thoughts. It only takes one thought for an action to happen. We have to be kind to others and to ourselves.

You never know who has depression until they tell you, and some of them are scared to be judged by others! I wish we would stop judging others and help them that can go a long way!

That's one big reason why they don't come out in their shells. The don't wanted to be judge. And those people who keeps on judging are the same people who's saying then to commit this things. And we must stop that culture of them.

That is why we should try to be kind to everyone we meet everyday because deep inside we all know we are all facing a battle and we don't know who are the ones close to giving up.

Most depressed people are already at their lowest point in life and just a little push will lead them into committing suicide. Saying "go kill yourself" to someone that is already thinking about suicide is a death sentence

It's true that we can't identify those people who's having stress and depression, if we encounter people sharing their pain we must support them and listen to their pain. Do not said words that can hurt his feeling nor releasing jokes about committing suicide cause they might think suicide is the only solution to end their pain. Maybe that guy experiencing problems but he didn't share it to anyone.

Many people wear a mask to hide their problem, even you have a problem just tell me and maybe we can help it out. For suicide is not a solution it's just a way to passed your problem. Suicide is preventable and we should learn how to prevent it
