temporarily permanent

suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem, so it's wrong. I know this. I also know about temporary solutions.

I know about stretching the time between the decision to act and acting. I know about distractions. I know about willpower and the lack thereof. I know about consequences.

I know things I don't want to know, things people don't want to hear, things that will never truly leave me.

I know myself.

the temporary solutions that serve as a reminder that life is imminent and always and that permanent solutions are bad.

but the thing about temporary solutions, this thing that I know, is that they are temporary. you will have to do it consistently, or sooner or later you'll be back where you started.

it's enough to make a person think about permanent solutions from time to time.
