how true...
it's a paradox...because I think for some that commit suicide, to them, that very point of act WAS logical, at least in their heads...
to all the survivors of it, it becomes ILLOGICAL....

I wonder if my conversation with Matt would be:
moi: Matt, how could you kill yourself and carve that onto that table?? How can you kill yourself knowing that your mom would be so sad and angry and miss you. Not to mention your friends...don't you know how illogical that was?
Matt: moi, it may be illogical to you, but to me, it made every sense in the world...and you should know, cause you've been there....
moi:.......
~~~~~~~~~~~~
it would be true, because in those moments where I'd come so close....I made PERFECT sense to me...*sigh....
