Words you couldn't say

E.
I didn't know you.
But many people did and they're going to miss you.


Yet another girl chose to stop breathing...
Although, you can't really say it's a choice when you're not seeing any way out anymore...

"The World Health Organisation estimates that each year approximately one million people die from suicide, which represents a global mortality rate of 16 people per 100,000 or one death every 40 seconds. It is predicted that by 2020 the rate of death will increase to one every 20 seconds."

One year is  31 556 926 seconds.
So that's 1 577 846 people who commit suicide every year (for now, sadly).
1 577 846 people who can't find their way back.

90% of suicides worldwide are cause by some kind of mental illness.
And befor you go all Hannibal Lecter on my ass, depression is considered a mental illness too.

NHS says that there are several factors who determine how vulnerable one is to suicidal thinking or behaviour: life history, mental health, lifestyle, employment, relationships and genetics and family history.


These factors don't have to lead to suicide, but when they do it's never just one single cause.
And stressful events will most likely push you over the edge.

Some people dare say those problems are all between your ears. I say they've never been low enough to know it's not like that at all.

Of course there's much more to this topic, but I really wanted to put it in the spotlight.


In memoriam of all suicide victims.
May their families find a way to move on, but never to forget.

Fields of Gold


First blog of the year.

So I was planning on ending the year in gold.
Or at least with a song about fields of gold.

Yes ladies and gentlemen, the one and only: Sting.



 But with midterms and all, I have to admit I kinda forgot.
Sorry about that...

It's the end of January by now.
A very happy new year to all of you, by the way.
I hope you all made resolutions you're happy with.


I know I did.
I plan on:
- go out more. no explanation necessary.
- getting a boyfriend. It's been almost two years and I'm getting sick of it. No, I'm not going to hunt the boys down. If it's meant to be, He'll show up. In the mean time, I'm going to enjoy my time with the ones I do meet.
- seeing trough to go train 3 times a week.
*look at that, she's one of those anorexic bitches who are never content with their body*
No, I'm not. Not even by far. I'm perfectly content with how I look. Just want to ante up my endurance in running amongst other things. Hopefully I can start horseback riding again soon as well.
-an as for now: finish editing 'Sakura'. Someone's asked me to review and edit her book. I'm almost halfway now, and I love the story. I really like editing as well... Either way, if she'd ever put the story online, I'll be sure to post the link here, on my blog.


School's starting again on Monday, so I'm gonna go enjoy my weekend. Hope you guys do too!!!

Xoxo.
