One year ago, I didn't think or even hope I'd see my 24th birthday. I was depressed and lonely because of my no ex-fiancé cheating on me 2 months before our wedding and leaving me. I had no will to live and even attempted suicide by Monster. I quite literally drank a case of the stuff in a day hoping it would send my heart into overdrive and eventually stop it.

Now, a year later, I'm in easily the best relationship I've ever been in, I'm happy, I'm joyful, I met my (now) absolute best friend and confidant, I'm and overall excited to see what life has in store for me.

For those of you contemplating it or even attempting it, please don't; wait it out. This, too, shall pass. Find yourself a lifeline, someone you can call any time you need to talk. If you don't have a physical person, I'm available. I'll always be there if it means someone else will survive.

Happy Thanksgiving. Stay positive.
