Entry 7


10-11-98

Wow so here is a change in my life...my cousin who is 15 and tried to kill herself two weeks ago is coming to live with us for a few months...Being an only child, this will represent some interesting times for me. I am really glad she is coming, she needs to get out of the environment she is in. I can't imagine trying to kill yourself. that might sound surprising to those of you who have me pegged as a manic-depressive but I can't see the point. People I've asked have claimed that they want the pain to stop. I don't undestand this reasoning, because sure there won't be any pain...there won't be anything. You'll be fucking dead. That isn't going to make shit better for you to kill yourself. If anything you can fuck up and be in even worse shit than you were before. And why the hell is suicide illegal? I don't wanna get off on a rant here( there is another section of the page for that) but if your life is so shitty that you want to do yourself in, you think being arrest and being stigmatized s gonna help? Hell no.

Now I think suicide is stupid and pointless but come on how much do we really need to control people's choices? If you have a friend or a loved one, you should help them not get them arrested. Now I know I am being somewhat dense here, but come on! If a desperate person wants to stick it to their family or society, making the shit illegal is just another plus on the should I shoot myself at thanksgiving dinner check list.I am not suggesting that the legality of suicide is a factor in most depressed individual's minds but it is the implication that the law holds. It is as pointless as suicide. But anyway I am getting way off topic. You guys should hit me upside the head when I start doing that shit.

So her coming in will be interesting to say the least. I am very glad she is coming here. It will be good for her. It maybe good for me too in that I won't be sittting here by myself all the time (my parents are rarely here). So things look good. Hopefully it will go well. But only time will tell....
