MY SONG IS LOVE UNKNOWN ...........



MY SONG IS 
LOVE 
UNKNOWN
Posted by at

Your one and precious life.

"Your problem 
is how you are going to spend 
this one and precious life 
you have been issued. 
Whether you're going to spend it trying to look good 
and creating the illusion that you have power over circumstances, 
or whether you are going to taste it, 
enjoy it and 
find out the truth about who you are."

....stood in front of a train to die.....






LOCALLY

3 x beautiful humans
these days last year -
stood in front of a train
to die.

So inexpressibly sad.





It gives me deep feelings that 1 precious life
could contemplate such a thing.
End their life.

Tragedy also
train driver
passengers
emergency services
family
closest and nearest
neighbours
friends
work colleagues
local people like me.
Tragic for so many.

I have felt down.
I mood-swing like all of us - I think
but few tell you - so just guessing.

I know and have known
so many who suffer depression.
Some who daily felt suicidal.
Such tough experiences 
for me second-hand
for them
a life of pain.

I am no expert on these matters.
I strive to understand emotions.
Emotional Literacy.
Emotional Intelligence.
But these feelings to drive a BHP to suicide - 
I struggle to understand.

I know depression is an illness.
One in which people can feel shame.
I feel that.

BUT
If you know anyone going through this sort of thing
They need you as a friend.
We all need totally accepting friends.
Total unconditional love.
We need to wave some sort of flag
to let others know we are available.
No opinions - just an ear.

If you are one who suffers in any small
or larger way .........
Find someone to talk with.
Someone who you can feel comfortable with.
Don't leave too late.
Later you may not have the courage to talk - share - confide.

I am always available if anyone want to collide.
An email could be the start (pip@ - see my CONTACT page here)

The main thing is to talk.
Pretending you feel OK is a disastrous road.
It drives people under cover - deeper .........

I feel deeply about these things.
I wanted to share my feelings.
