We hold a one-way ticket in life and there shall be no return. Every moment, despite good or bad, shall all be fond memories as time washes over us.] How beautiful....

And God, when I listened to the lyrics it really does hit me right in the heart.  In December last year, everything came crumbling down in an instant and I realised that I couldn't do this alone anymore.  I found myself in a very dark place in my life where all I could ever think of was to end my own life with my own hands. This scary thought and this voice within me would torment me again and again until I fear that I myself, would give in.  I finally picked myself up from the mess I'd held within all these years and went to the ...
