MACY TRISTE

Article 07

Published: 09/17/15

Macy,

I can't handle it anymore. My friends and parents hate me. I don't think I can handle this life anymore. Somebody needs to take away this life. Replace me with this life. Somebody please. I'm asking you Macy please give me some hope.

From,

Done with Life

Dear Done with Life,

I know the feeling. Yesterday, I had just wanted to kill myself. These thoughts never go away sadly. Some people say they got rid of them, but sadly they just suppressed them.

Done with Life, don't ever suppress those feelings. It'll kill you inside. I'm sorry about your situation with your friends and parents, I'm not sure what to say. I know what you want me to say. That they still love you regardless and as much as I would like to say that. I can't. Because the fact of the matter is, is that I don't know you. I don't know the situation you've gone through. And for that I'm terribly sorry.

I don't want to take away your life, nor can anyone take it away. Please realize that. Only you have the power to do that and I really hope that the power in you tells you not to do something you may regret.

I'm not sure what to say to give you hope, but here goes. Hope is for suckers. Hope and Love. But do hold fast to both of them because if you have hope and love, it could and will save your life.

Love,

Macy who held on to hope and love and didn't give up.

"Thank you Macy." my editor told me.

"For what?" I asked mildly confused. I had just finished my advice for the newspaper and I didn't even submit it to her yet.

"For the advice that you're giving my friend." She answered while looking at me for hope. She was looking through my eyes to see if I had said what she wanted me to say.

I really hope I did. Because right then and there, she told me , "I have someone I want you to meet."
