2.18

another of my favourites by dorothy parker. succinct, pointed and crystal clear advice to anyone contemplating suicide. pricelessly pithy.

Razors pain you;
Rivers are damp;
Acids stain you;
And drugs cause cramp.
Guns aren't lawful;
Nooses give;
Gas smells awful;
You might as well live.

-Dorothy Parker

thats how i feel too. i worry that hanging will not work and takes too long. so do razors.

guns would be effective - which is why am too scared to buy one for protection because i'll end up using it on myself.
