New Year is approaching, will it be the "New you" or the "End of you"?
TW: Mentions of Depression and Suicide
I wonder if you had planned for this all year long?
Honestly, I don't want to sound dramatic... No wait, scratch that. We're not being dramatic, we never were, some people are just fortunate enough to be strong despite their situations, and they think that's enough for them to judge those who are weak willed.
We handle situations differently... That's what others fail to understand.
However, once hopelessness and depression wins, you and I both know what road we all would take.
Year 2022, somewhere around September, was the highest peak of my depression. I won't tell the cause(s), I don't want to compare, nor to be compared.
I dropped my 1st semester classes, I had shut myself from the outside world, I ghosted my friends and family, I abandoned painting and singing, and just slept inside my room. Ofc I still ate. But other than that, I didn't care for other health necessities.
God knows how long I didn't even took a bath back then.
I was ready to end myself by the end of December, since I didn't want my ma and sister to celebrate Christmas and New Year mourning. Then long story short, I watched SGE, saw Lesso (I didn't know who Charlize was back then), got interested and searched who the cast was and got further intrigued.
October 24 I started reading her fanfics, and surprisingly, it occupied my mind other than ending myself that year. I felt genuinely happy. The slow updates were killing me though, so voila! I made In Between.
However, with suicide still wasn't out of the picture, I published chapters daily, since I was racing against time. I didn't want to leave it in a cliffhanger. (1/2)
