Discussion so hard to let people go

[willitpass]

it's so easy to say i'm pro choice and no one should be forced into life but it's so so so hard to be okay with the idea of people i know dying that way. i guess it's the part of me that so desperately wants there to be hope for them. i want them to get help and get better and live a happy life. there is a girl i know a couple years younger than me who i see so much of myself in. she most definitely depressed and suicidal and she makes remarks sometimes. she just send a message in a group chat asking what the point of life is "but don't worry i'm probably not gonna kms". i feel so bad. i want so much better for her. yet i know in my heart not everyone can be helped and i don't want to force life on her and run to her school administrators who will probably just make things worse. i don't know how to feel or how to truly help. i just don't know. it's so hard to see people you love hurting

Yes it is our instinct to be pro life even when we are pro choice. There is no solution to this

I think there is no contradiction in beiong pro choice and doing everything you can to offer help that allow people to find some reason to live.

Those kinds of feelings and questions are pretty normal. I think generally people discover a religious impulse or accept that there are no answers and they may as well enjoy their time in the sun. All we can really do is just be there for one another.

Yes, it is sad to see people suffer, and I understand wanting to help people but after all it is the individuals life and it is their decision. It is a depressing world that we live in, it is not surprising that so many people ctb. Maybe things can improve for some people but certainly not for me. I wish you the best.

We can show kindness and love but ultimately, we make our own choices. Autonomy is the price we pay for our human form. But in the end we let go of everything and everyone. One way or another, we leave this world, we let go of our physical body and return to the soil.
