Trigger warning: Discussions of suicide.

There they are, a kid, so young and innocent with so much life ahead of them, about to cut their life short, because they just can't take it anymore.

This is the harsh reality of life. Many of us feel bad, especially due to the current situation of crisis. Some of us just couldn't take it, and decided to just end it all. Throughout history, we have seen many people, both young and old, attempt death at their own life. They would use all kinds of methods, from hanging, to gunfire, and everything in between.

Some people might not even care, others will give us even more pain, and even more reasons to end our lives when we still have so much to live for.

And the worst part is, suicide is such a taboo topic, that it can't really be properly discussed in most cultures. Some cultures deem it as "too scary" due to its association with death, others dismiss it as a sign of an unbeliever who has lost God, while others just don't dare to face such a harsh reality.

Do I have a solution to this? No, it's far too complicated for one person to answer, and there are plenty of causes and effects for a quick answer. But I will say this...

Some people are in so much pain, and that person could be someone far away, a best friend, a relative, or even ourselves. But regardless who that person is, we as adventurers of a harsh world just have to hold on, until we can get the help we need.

Every life is a valuable story, so why end it so abruptly? No crisis is infinite, and even if we never find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, we can take solace in the fact that we literally had the adventure of a lifetime. We can remember the times we smiled, and the times we struggled, so that when we grow old, where we have wrinkly skin and no real teeth, we can tell a story that will wow many people.

Sorry if I sound all emotional and stuff, just needed to get this off my chest.
