Sure have. The conclusion I've come to is: There's always someone who would.

Yup. I did for a while at one point, and people did care.

Yes I have. Fortunately I think if I did, some people would care.   :)

The question I always ask myself is: "If I leave, will the people who matter to me care?"

In other words, there are people who will care but, quite frankly, I'm not concerned with them. There are other people that I respect and those are the ones that I wonder about.

I suppose I might get my answer between the fall and spring semesters when the college has a whole month blocked off for no apparent reason.

I know that my ex would definitely miss me.  And not because I pay her money.  I know she still cares but she can not or will not admit to herself that she does.  And so would Peggy, a friend, and my GF.  And I would miss a new life.

Sure I have.

Suicidal thoughts are so freaking normal with transition it's almost a scandal they're not more openly discussed. I've felt them as recently as last week (I'm better now. Honest.)

"Would anyone care" is the early version of "would I hurt anyone else" when it comes to suicide. Neither one is a healthy way to frame the question in the first place.

We never know how or who's life we
have affected, simply by living our own.
