Valentines Day

On Valentines Day, I thought about committing suicide.

I thought of all those Valentines Days when I was alone. I thought I would rather not live at all than to live alone all the time.

Valentines Day is a day when a lot of people commit suicide through gunshot or heroin use.

But then I thought life is full of surprises that you would never expect. A year ago, I did not even know that I would go on a seaplane ride. I since went on two of them.

Of course to no one's surprise, one day eventually I did meet someone. I mean, of course, if I had committed suicide, I would never have met her.
