As if there is no where else to go. Because you've already hit rock bottom. Feeling as if there's nothing left for you in this life. No friends,no love, no anything... You are alone in your pitiful meaningless existence. Just a waste of oxygen right? Wrong. You are so much more then that. As you reach for the blade you begin to wonder if your life is really worthless. If you truly have nothing to offer the world. And in that moment, you decide life is worth living. As you run your fingers along your now bloody wrist you close your eyes and dream a better dream. Keep dreaming because you never know when those dreams may become a reality.” Paige Smith ## About This Quote This interpretation was drafted with AI assistance.
