...in my Broken Pieces of Clarity....

I have mental illness. Mind clarity is rare, too briefly and often too late. Old friends and acquaintances would look away when they see me. Yup, that unpopular. Of course, I get angry and hurt but deep down, I know I’d do the same too, if I saw 'me'. That’s the icy cold papercut truth. The illness cuts even deeper. I thank you for your readership. Your presence here makes me feel less alone. This blog helps me remember my true worth as a person, and how my own mind threatens it.

iris

I was happy that Iris Chang's story was being featured. I quickly browsed when suddenly this phrased shocked me,

-committed suicide in 2004, at the age of 36.

I couldn't believe it.

what? How come I didn't read about it in the news before?

Her book, "Rape of Nanking" has taught me so much when I read it in my teens.

Nobody can understand suicides, not even the suicidals.
