I know mine not be a popular opinion. But frankly, I think people should be allowed to commit suicide if they choose. I don't think the government or society as a whole should make that choice for us. I firmly believe that I have a right to end my own life if I choose, Would it be selfish? Yes. Would it be harmful for those left behind? Definitely. Is it a good choice? I think not. Is the idea of government being able to dictate and control my life a good one? Hell no! Why should we give strangers that much control? Why should the government get to decide my fate? This is my life, my body, my choice. Please don't force me into treatment, it won't work. Not anymore. Goddess knows that I know how to lie my way out of a 72 hour hold quite easily. So please, dear government/society, let me live my life or not as I see fit. If I want help I will get it. If I don't I won't.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
