[asked if his suicide attempt was a cry for help]No. I told no one. You only cry for help if you believe that there's help to cry for.
A weird time in which we are alive. We can travel anywhere we want, even to other planets. And for what? To sit day after day, declining in morale and hope.
I've been clinging to this world like a discarded shell of an insect stuck to a branch, about to be blown off forever by a gust of wind.
The whole thing is quite hopeless, so it's no good worrying about tomorrow. It probably won't come.
You are young; you have hopes. One by one they will go, and nothing will be left but the bare fact of life.
