A dear friend of mine with whom I had spent a considerable amount of time back in the days had suddenly vanished claiming her own life. I have heard about suicides but losing my very own friend was a real shocker. We had drifted apart due to marriage and moving to different cities but never in my worst nightmares did I see this coming. Maybe we took our friendship for granted, we are just a text away right?


She was a talented girl active on social media posting pictures every other day which had never ending likes and emojis, so I believed she did well. The news simply shook my present world and I had no idea how I was going to cope with the thought that I am never going to hear her voice or see her face again. It was devastating. I wondered how her family, was going to cope and survive this. 


I went through a series of feelings from being shocked to being angry and I couldn’t help asking out loud, why? I hoped it was just a nightmare that I would eventually wake up from, I was in denial! The next day I read in the papers it was world’s suicide prevention day and WHO has surveyed that almost 800,000 humans claim their lives every year. I was feeling ironic then, Why didn't I see this coming? I decided then to do something to create awareness among the society that killing oneself is not the answer to life’s problems.

No am not here to shout something new or say there is a magical cure to all our life’s problems. But this is what I got to say...
Don’t think you are the only one facing mountains of hurdles in your life, there are people carrying bigger crosses like fighting cancer or a deadly disease wishing against hope they just had a few more days to live.


Don’t believe your end is going to take all you misery away. You have no idea what pain you’re inflicting upon your loved ones after you disappear. It is an endless trauma and there is no closure for them; you create a permanent void in their life.

Don’t for a second think “this is the end of it, I can’t take it anymore...” Because tomorrow is a brand new day if you just sleep your problems off you may even reflect back and think how silly you were to think of giving up your precious life for no big deal at all. When our elders said “this too shall pass...” they really meant it! And don’t even for a second try to fool you that people will think you were brave because even strangers don’t sympathize with you.

No, you are not the only one who hasn’t realized their true potential or tasted success in life but give it another day or more and your time will come for sure. Just take each day at a time. 


If you feel you are in a toxic place in life just think of ways to overcome and change the scenario, let go of people who traumatize you, learn a new art, just sing and dance or simply count your many blessings that God has given you. Or simply call a friend and talk that will surely ease your pain.


What really matters? The pure smile of a baby, spending time quarreling with siblings and making up, being with that special someone, your naughty pet that makes you crazy and parents who love us unconditionally and the list is endless....

No one gets to have a perfect life, trust me. All that glam you see on face book and instagram is a big fat lie! Don't be tempted to believe it and judge yourself. Yes I may have to be a little blunt here because people don’t want you to see their imperfections. No one posts their morning faces sans makeup! But being imperfect is the beauty of life so learn to accept it. That’s what being human is about.

Life is beautiful people, while we can enjoy the roses why not embrace the thorns and move ahead? After all this is a short life...Just Live it one more day...


P.S. As for my bestie people mourned her deeply for a day or two and condolences poured from all over on her facebook page and everyone slowly moved on but her daughter will never get her mommy back and no one ever can take over that role. I can’t help but think how different things would have been If only she had lived just one more day!
