Today I’ll have “love” written on my arm. Like kinsi and lizard eater, my life has been touched by suicide. Touched by others’ deaths and also, as a young queer person, touched by the struggle with whether my own life was worth living.
I made it through that struggle and I can say that I am glad and grateful and delighted by what lay on the other side of the choice to live, to reach out, to get help and to hang on. At the time, I was completely convinced my life had no value. I was wrong.
If you struggle with thoughts of suicide, you are not alone. Please, read this, right now. And know that today, the love written on my arm is for you.
