Hasty Choices Can Lead To Death

Crystal was suicidal at the age of seven. Because of this, she signed a no suicide contract. Crystal was walking down the street one day. Suddenly, she saw a music store. Crystal went into the music store. There, she saw a pink electric guitar, a keyboard, and a drum set. Crystal liked all 3, but she knew her parents could only afford lessons for one instrument. Crystal had always been interested in music, and she had a natural talent for it. She loved to sing and would often make up her own songs, but she had never had the opportunity to learn how to play an instrument. Her parents worked long hours to provide for their family, so there was never any money left over for extracurricular activities.
As she stared at the three instruments in front of her, Crystal couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement. She had always dreamed of being in a band and performing in front of a crowd. But with her family's financial situation, it seemed like an impossible dream.
She had been walking the streets aimlessly, trying to clear her mind from the dark thoughts that often plagued her. Crystal had struggled with depression since she was just seven years old. She had lost all hope and saw no reason to keep living. However, her therapist had convinced her to sign a no suicide contract, promising that she would seek help before making any hasty decisions.
But as she stood in the music store, Crystal couldn't help but feel a sense of freedom and possibility. Without thinking, she reached out and grabbed the pink electric guitar. It was love at first sight. She imagined herself playing on stage, with her long, pink hair flowing as she strummed the guitar.
With her mind made up, Crystal went to the counter and asked for the price. The clerk told her it was $500. Crystal's heart sank. She knew her parents couldn't afford that kind of money.
But then a voice inside her head said, 'You deserve this, Crystal. You deserve to do something for yourself.'
In that moment, Crystal made a hasty decision. She took out the no suicide contract and tore it to pieces. She was going to buy that guitar, no matter what the consequences were.
She didn't care about the lessons or the cost, all she could think about was owning that guitar. The clerk, sensing her determination, offered her a deal. He would give her the guitar for $200 if she promised to take lessons and practice every day.
Without hesitation, Crystal agreed and handed over the money. She walked out of that store with the biggest smile on her face. She couldn't wait to get home and show her parents her new guitar.
But as she was walking home, Crystal realized what she had just done. She had torn up the no suicide contract and spent a large amount of money without even considering the consequences. She panicked, feeling like she had made a huge mistake.
The weight of her actions hit her all at once, and Crystal couldn't handle it. She ran to the nearest bridge, the same one she used to go to when she felt sad and alone. Tears streaming down her face, she climbed onto the railing and looked down at the rushing water below.
Just as she was about to jump, her phone rang. It was her mom, asking where she was and if everything was okay. Crystal burst into tears, telling her everything that had happened.
Her mom immediately rushed to her side and hugged her tightly, telling her that everything would be okay. Together, they went to return the guitar and Crystal's parents promised to find a way to get her lessons. From that day on, Crystal learned that hasty decisions can lead to death, but reaching out for help can save a life.
