I hope you are able to translate and read the words I want to share. A life lived is a life well worn. Our greatest hopes and joy are only known because of the fear and pain we experience as well. But for some these experiences can swing so wide and so hard as to bring thoughts or actions of self-harm. Suicide is the ultimate and final act of purging all the worst from a frail and damaged soul. While it may be an escape it is also a horrific act of violence against those who remain.

The tragic end to the life of Kate Spade is not only sad but a terrible waste as well. When I see someone with talent and resources and a brilliant creative mind decide that the next best step is death it makes me angry. We are all part of the fabric of life and we all rise and fall together. Those who have risen the highest leave a depression and space where the lives of others still remain. And if the lives we live no longer bring us happiness and reward we still have a responsibility the lives around us. We all have self-worth and we all have something to give back. We are all connected we are all one.
