This is such an incredible song. I don't know why it was this song, but this song saved me, I was so down, so depressed and so out of it, I was going to end it all, I could barely stand the idea of waking up, but then I listened to this song one time and it made me think about my girlfriend, my mom and my friends, what they would think, that maybe I could see them again, but I know that suicide is an unforgivable sin. But I just thought about what would happen to everything, I didn't want to forget all of my memories, experience the unexperienced, and I knew that I WAS going to leave this world alive. I couldn't imagine what would happen to my friends, my mom, but most of all my girlfriend. She has experienced so much loss in her life and I couldn't do it to her, I love her more than anything in the universe and the one thing that I was afraid of before I was going to do it was the thought of never seeing her again. I thought of what my friends would say at my funeral, what would happen to her, what would happen to my mom, and I know that I am too young and have too much that hasn't happened in my life to die now. I will never look at the world the same way, I'll give everything a smile and just be happy that I am seeing it, experiencing it, knowing now how precious life is, realizing how scary it can be to be on a crumbling cliff, I will always give that person who is down a person to talk to, I wish what I was going through mentally on no one. Thank you Flogging Molly, you saved me.
