What can I say?

Since I'm new to this I thought I would share a little bit about myself. Okay maybe just some of the interesting things.
It is coming up on my one year anniversary of my last attempted suicide and in some ways it is hard for me to think that I would have been in such emotional pain that I would have wanted to end my life. I know that as a person who has a serious mental illness, or as I like to say seriously more interesting, that there have been many times that I have struggled with thoughts of suicide. It seems to have always been lurking around in the dark corners of my life. This year I have still had my moments but I have also discovered that my passion for living has grown. I know that part of that reason is because of what I am now doing in my life.
You know that saying ..." Do what you're good at and you'll succeed" it makes me laugh because what I'm succeeding at is the fact that I didn't succeed in ending my life.
What can I say? I would never have guessed last year that my life would be what it is now or that I would have the opprotunities that I do. Never would I have thought that trying to end my life would have given me such a passion to live. I am not yet sure how I will celebrate this anniversary, but I think it will indeed be a celebration of life.
