Talk a stranger out of suicide

Okay buddy so this is my last chance to talk to you. I want to make it count.How old are you? 23? That's not very old at all mate.Listen, I know your having a hard time right now. Maybe a "hard time" is putting the term lightly. I have absolutely no idea what happened. My girlfriend of 2 years just broke up with me the other night. And she refused to give me a direct answer as to why. It was almost as if I hadn't known her for 2 entire years... Everything about her. Suddenly she wants to play these game on me. At first, ya know I was depressed as hell. I spent the whole night not sleeping, and writing my feelings of hate and anger into a word document. Last night I was able to spend some time with a friend, who reminded me of some very important things however.Things I already knew, but once hearing again made me look a little bit closer at them.Right now I could join you up on that ledge. I could be dreading life, that the only person I had in life has left me, for practically no other reason than she wanted to. After 2 years. But I am not going to join you up there. In fact I am going to ask you to join me in here. Because honestly I have learned from this.Why should I allow my happiness to rely on one person?I mean, seriously, I am only 19. What am I doing wasting my time being depressed? I have another 80 or so years to live, so why not make them count? I have realized that the true meaning of life is to live in happiness. If I am not doing everything I can to be happy, then I cannot justifiably blame my pity on her.Who knows why she left me? Better question who cares? Every second I waste worrying about why she did it, and feeling sorry for myself, I am wasting the valuable time that I could be actually doing something to replace that hole she left me.Adam, you have a big hole. Something is missing from your life. I am not saying replacing that hole is going to be easy. But you at least owe it to yourself to try. Because, quite frankly not giving yourself a chance is unfair to you. You have lived 23 short years. You have many more to come. Some will be hard... Maybe even harder than what your going through now. But the good times you will experience, the memories you will create, will far outweigh any of those feelings. Adam you don't know what your missing out on. And you never will unless you try it, give yourself a chance. Don't end your life because of this. You are great. Everything that makes up you is special in every way imaginable.And there is someone out there right now, who is waiting for you to change their life. "To be, or not to be, that is the question:Whether 'tis Nobler in the mind to sufferThe Slings and Arrows of outrageous Fortune,Or to take Arms against a Sea of troubles,And by opposing end them: to die, to sleepNo more; and by a sleep, to say we endThe heart-ache, and the thousand Natural shocksThat Flesh is heir to? 'Tis a consummationDevoutly to be wished. To die to sleep,To sleep, perchance to Dream; Ay, there's the rub,For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come,When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,Must give us pause. There's the respectThat makes Calamity of so long life:For who would bear the Whips and Scorns of time,The Oppressor's wrong, the proud man's Contumely, [F:poor]The pangs of despised Love, the Law’s delay, [F:disprized]The insolence of Office, and the SpurnsThat patient merit of the unworthy takes,When he himself might his Quietus makeWith a bare Bodkin? Who would Fardels bear,To grunt and sweat under a weary life,But that the dread of something after death,The undiscovered Country, from whose bournNo Traveller returns, Puzzles the will,And makes us rather bear those ills we have,Than fly to others that we know not of.Thus Conscience does make Cowards of us all,And thus the Native hue of ResolutionIs sicklied o'er, with the pale cast of Thought,And enterprises of great pitch and moment, [F:pith]With this regard their Currents turn awry, [F:away]And lose the name of Action. Soft you now,The fair Ophelia? Nymph, in thy OrisonsBe all my sins remembered"So Adam, together, we can take arms against the sea of troubles. Change the tide and make those troubles worth fighting against. Because what fun is there in life if we do not have challenges to over come? Adam I want you to consider all of. Consideration can be hard when waiting atop a ledge. So take a step back inside, and the let's take the first step towards becoming happy together.
