I feel disappointed

[dopaminenthusiast]

There is this man on Instagram who became "famous" after declaring, about a year ago, that he will pursue assisted death in the Netherlands after a whole life fighting with bpd. This obviously shocked people, but gave hope to other kind of people who were struggling with their own problems, and discovered that you can die through assisted dead (or assisted euthanasia, how he calls it). I have to admit this guy gave me hope, as he was the first person who went publicly online to talk about this topic which is so taboo in the whole world. He talked about our rights to live as well as our rights to die, all while documented his life, his relationships, his wishlist before passing, etc.

Suddenly, one day, he said he was
getting married, and because of that + "the amazing experiences he went through in the year he was on the Netherlands" (just... waiting for his turn....) he suddenly found a reason to live. don't get me wrong, I'm so happy when people actually finds a reason to wake up every day and truly enjoys living, and I don't want him to be dead it's just that i was so touched and felt so seen when he spoke about people struggling with mental health issues and their rights to die and now is like he throw all of that mindset away, which is weird and truly disappointing.
I would like to read your opinions on the matter

is he throwing it away, tho? i dont think he discounts any of these feelings that he had before, hes just currently not feeling them the same way he did before. maybe in the future he will feel them again. suicide is permanent, so it makes sense that he would back out of the decision.

good for him.
