1 year ago

Y/n 1: Ahh...Hh…please save me…

Y/n 2: Why? Why should I save you?

Y/n 1: I don’t understand?

Y/n 2: You were willing to die few minutes before. What’s wrong now? I’m here to fulfil your wish man.

Y/n 1: What are you even trying to pull off? You freaking wanted to kill me, are you even my best friend. Please pull me up.

 

Y/n 2: Why should I? Give me a damn perfect reason to pull you up? This is what you wanted after all- “SUICIDE”. You wanted to die because you are all alone in this world. So, I am making it easy by pushing you down to the heaven from this rooftop.

 

Y/n 1: I don’t want to DIE. I want to LIVE. Yes, I want to live but it’s true that I didn’t had a single reason before to continue living. I was all alone as everyone accuses me wrongly, they blame me for the reason that I haven’t committed. Still all of them hate me, even I hate my existence. “BUT I WANT TO LIVE AND DIE”. Please PULL me UP.

Y/n 2: this is what I really wanted you to experience. It is not necessary that what we think will have to actually work out, it’s the reality not a cybernetic. You have to face each and everything on your own. Look DEPRESSION is not the solution but SOLUTION is the life. It’s never your problem or your fault that you are lacking or the people don’t like you, but there is always a room for change which you can try. Just remember I didn’t pull you up to give you a second chance to live but to be optimistic and courageous.
