Suicide is the way out for those who can not get over a situation, those who are not strong enough to deal with the bad things life has given you and come up. No matter what you lose you CAN recover as long as you do not let yourself be broken.

In the early 2000's I had lost everything, I was not talking to my parents, I had pissed off most of my friends through a misunderstanding and choosing one person over others, I was in debt and risking being evicted, I had no health insurance and I was sick from not having enough money to have power in my apartment that winter. Soon after I lost my fiance over a bullshit argument. I lost that apartment and had to sleep in my office, the company I worked for shut down and I stayed a few days in that office building with no power. I felt like I had lost it all, but I took all the pain and suffering and turned it into anger at my fiance for her actions and my stupid choices and then I took that big chunk of anger and turned it into drive! 2 years later I own one of the leading Japanese automotive media internet sites, one of the best tuner shops in my area, an extensive distribution network and now what promises to be one of the biggest adult novelty affiliate programs to hit the game.

How easy would it have been for me to swallow a bullet? I refused to give up and be beaten, cold, homeless, friendless and no family but you know what I did? I picked my ass up, I did not sell drugs or steal, I got over it and I GOT IT DONE! I gave 2 years of my life, hardly sleeping, sacrificing hanging out, going to movies and being a early 20's male to make myself the best man I could be and secure myself a life. So as you can see it CAN be done. If any of you ever need someone to talk to because you feel no one cares 36326667 you hit me up and we will talk. If I can do it you can do it.
Great motivation and good for you..As the saying goes what doesn't kill you makes you stronger..Good to hear that
