LIFE

Live long and prosper*
In spite of your death desire;
Find the releasing pit,
Empty your anguish into it.

Your title drew me in. I really hope more people read this. There’s a lot of meaning in those few lines. I absolutely love this. Instantly one of my favs.

Thank you. I suffered from depression for years. I could have used this advise back then.

This is a good idea. I'll find a pit somewhere.
