  1. I would watch zombie movies or survival movies and always wonder why they fought so hard to live, it's so easy to do otherwise. Like death is sitting right there. But nowadays, I'm thinking if I ever was in a zombie, I'd fight until my very last breath for my life.

  2. 12:15 It does not sound egocentric. I feel like news like this go so viral because it awakens something so deep and beastly in humanity, it's almost like our survival instincts get triggered because this is a human's story meaning it is in the realm of humanity, meaning it could also be you or anyone you know or just anyone. I didn't know about this at all, until today, and I have to say I thought back to my own life experience with depression. Thankfully, it wasn't as severe as being at the bottom of the grand canyon but severe nonetheless. In 2021, I gave myself two years to live. I even put on an ambiguous countdown on my instagram close friend's list labelled, "if not in 2 years." I gave myself 2022, and 2023 to be happy or at new year's eve of last year, I'd plan and execute my own death. And I have to say, it's been six months since the day that I thought I would end it all and I'm still here. And I'm so happy that I am. I find it hard to believe I was even in a state of mind to do that to myself. I remember wishing that I died of a heart attack or I died in a car crash all those days back, my depression was so bad but my anxiety of hurting myself was equally bad. It is terrible to think of how desperate those days became for me. I cannot believe I didn't want to live. So, all of this to say, please remember, it will get better. I promise. I just held onto to the thought of surviving just another day and making the most of it, and my life was complete. Please do not give up. Your life is worth so much.
