Here you guys see my blogs, I'm usually upbeat and positive. I rarely talk about some of the darkest moments of my life.

Most of the time the dark moments are just that...moments. Suicide is a permanent solution to what, in most instances, is a temporary problem.

I love to rip those dark feelings from my body and put them on canvas for all to see.

Those dark feelings can dissipate by talking about them. This requires a good listener. Not everyone has art as an outlet. Sometimes talking can be all it takes, so all of us should be attentive to the moods of our friends, family, coworkers, and not be afraid to ask how they are feeling. It can be scary when they respond that they are contemplating suicide but having that outlet can help them. Stay with that person and get them help if you can't do it on your own. Look out for one another, you never know when you might need the help.
