If You Want to Kill Yourself, Kill What You Don't Like.

Today while I was scrolling through Facebook, bored and lazy as usual, when a status caught my eye. It was a quote that I really feel some connection to. The quote is:

"If you want to kill yourself, kill what you don't like. I had an old self that I killed. You can kill yourself too, but that doesn't mean you got to stop living."

Not sure where it came from, but it really hit home for me. I killed my old self, the self that I didn't like. This was a different process from what most people would do... but for me it was transitioning from female to male. I hated who I was, I was so negative and so depressed, but since "killing" that self, I've learned to see the more beautiful parts of life. I've learned that things aren't always what they seem, and that no matter how hard it gets, life goes on. I'm learning to become a better person - as a person that I like. So, if you're out there, and you think of killing yourself... remember that you don't have to end your life to kill the sadness.
