Welcome to my first episode of Reasons to Stay. It's based on a piece I wrote back in January of this year. I’m hoping to bring just a little bit of hope to anyone who needs a reason to keep going.
Thanks for being here my friends ❤️

Welcome to Reasons to Stay
Episode 1 - a brief introduction and reading
Reasons to Stay
I often think about the things that keep people alive. As a suicide survivor, I have found multiple reasons to stay, and that’s what is most important. I have so many now, it scares me to think about losing any of them or giving up on any of them. And that’s how I know that i’ve turned the tide of my thoughts. For a long time, my brain would try to trick me, but I know now it's no magician and I have all its secrets anyway. I am heartbroken for the ones who can't navigate their own brains tricks. Maybe it’s worth it to offer up a few reasons to keep going, maybe it'll help save a life.
