Latham, I am glad for the tons of words that exist because you resisted 5 pounds of pressure.

Wow Latham. This is a profound share. I've never come up against a pain so acute that I sat with a weapon in hand, but I completely relate to the excitement of taking one's own life, which I equate with the act of giving up an identification with a part of myself I've been attached to. Walking away from a particular job, relationship, habit, offer of money, or way of seeing myself is something I've done many many times, as has anyone who is on the path of growth. The ability to intentionally end parts of one's life rather than the whole thing at once seems to be central to the art of living.
