[霜月はるか] snowdrop [20.10.2020] [1:31 pm]

Chipper moods at work this past weekend, even if I've been stuck working with a sketchy/bipolar barcode scanner at a local Speedway, and even though the snow being here is basically a repetition of 1991. Also the fact that my phone's "video stabilization" has shaken this video to kingdom come. To be fair, a great big family among my co-workers, as well as a sense of community among the frequent flyers, more than makes up for it.

That being said, I received news of a friend of mine, who I have not met in a long time, being on the brink of suicidal depression, so much so that she attempted to take her own life on Sunday. Said friend, while having been an ex-love interest who I've actually fought with before, so happens to be a smol bean. (And us cultured folk know that we must protecc the smol bean.) Today, I had to find a reasonable balance between work and emotional support with the consent of my manager. It was a lot harder to do in practice, but I felt it was necessary. I seriously hope I got through to her.

Anyone who is facing hard times and feels the need to take the easy way out, I strongly encourage that you seek the Lifeline (1-800-273-8255), or refer to your therapist, should they still be active. Better yet, being open about your feelings with your friends and/or loved ones can help, as well as finding good aspects of yourself to build upon, among many other things.

Above all else, please stay. This world needs you more than you know.

You are enough.
You are loved.
You are not alone.
