[Image ID: A series of screenshots taken from a variety of media. The transcriptions of the posts have been slightly edited for screen readability.
The first screenshot is by Gabe k-s, a user from I believe Substack. The post reads:
There must be something like the opposite of suicide, whereby a person radically and abruptly decides to start living, or rescue their own life from destruction/obscurity.
The next screenshot is from tumblr user aridante. The post reads:
Get in loser we're living past the end of our myth.
The next screenshot is from tumblr user orivu. The post reads:
You've died a thousand times before, who cares. Just climb out of this grave again and again and again and again and again and again and again.
The next screenshot is from tumblr user buzzkillgirls. The post reads:
So. Bad news. We have to keep going tomorrow. Good news is that I'll keep going with you.
The next screenshot is a pair of drawings of a a small animal, perhaps a cat, in a green cloak.
In the first one, it has the cloak tucked around its mouth and a lantern in its hand, looking determined. The text in the drawing is in all caps and reads:
I'm getting out of here. By God, am I going to make my way out of here.
In the second drawing of the animal, it has released its cloak so it has fallen back around its shoulders. It is giving a thumbs up and a sparkle is next to the thumbs up. The text now reads:
You got out! By God, you got out of there!
The next screenshot is a pair of tweets- one by Noshi at noshiepic, and a reply by Richard Silken at Richard Silken. The tweet by Noshi reads:
My suffering isn't beautiful.
The next screenshot is a post and a reblog by tumblr user cemetery thing. The post reads:
Oh, and that gap in my resume is when I was digging my own grave.
The dirt under my nails is- yeah. It won't wash out. Although that's actually from when I dug myself out again. I suppose success and defeat can look the same in a mirror.
The next screenshot is a pair of illustrations of Moomin.
The first one is of Moomin in not-quite waist deep water, saying 'I guess I had better drown myself' with their head down and eyes wide.
The second illustration is of Moomin in now neck deep water, swimming and saying 'It's a pity I swim so well.'
The next screenshot is a post by tumblr user disenchanted-killjoy. The post reads:
Don't care, didn't ask, plus this hole you put me in wasn't deep enough and I'm climbing out right now.
The next screenshot is from 'Isnt't that enough,' a song by Shawn Mendes. The lyrics that were chosen to be part of this posts are:
Gone are the birds/Close are the tears/A house full of love/Space for your fears/My hand's still shaking, my mind's still racing/My heart's still breaking in two/I'm still changing, my friends stay patient/My mother still calls for the news.
The next screenshot is a tweet by claire at pretty they swag. The tweet reads:
Bro, you have to keep going. You care too much. Your kindness too overwhelming. Your cheerfulness is too upbeat. They need you.
The next screenshot is a tweet by at cole tyumuch. The tweet reads:
The bravest thing I ever did was continue my life when I wanted to die, and nobody really knows.
The next screenshot is a graphic of a skeleton playing an electric guitar in a graveyard. The text reads:
Today fucking sucks, tomorrow might not. Only one way to find out...be there.
Under the graphic are the phone number and the website for the suicide prevention lifeline. The phone number is 1 800 273 8255 and the website is suicidepreventionlifeline dot org.
The next screenshot is a picture of a sunny window with sheer orange curtains covering it. The text over the curtains reads:
The sun is on my back. I smile because I thought I would be cold forever.
The next screenshot is a snippet of text from bird by bird, a book by Anne Lamott. The highlighted text reads:
And then the miracle happens. The sun comes up again.
The next screenshot is a pair of images from the video game Undertale created by Toby Fox. In both, the player character is looking in a mirror and the text is what shows on screen when you interact with it. The first text is:
Despite everything, it's still you.
The next- and final- screenshot is a post by tumblr user strawberry circuits. The post reads:
Sometimes the moral of the story really is just 'you cannot go back and what happened to you is going to be with you for the rest of your life. But it's still going to be okay,' huh.
