Feathers are heavy, too.

I almost envy those who believe suicide is a weak way out. Only because that means they've never had to experience the things that give you the knowledge to understand why it isn't weak at all. 

I am actually happy for that though, I'm glad they still have that bit of ignorance that is so bliss. 

That's the difference though, most suicidal people lost that bliss long ago.

 Knowledge is power, but sometimes that power is too great. It has the capacity to make you stronger if you can carry it, but it can be so heavy it can crush you just the same. 

You never know what someone may be carrying, and you can never judge the weight for anyone else. 

A feather to you may be an anvil for them. And what if they already had 100 anvils and that last feather was just too much to carry? 

That doesn't make someone weak, it means they were tired of being strong and couldn't bear anymore weight. 


 Stay strong, push your limits as much as you can, but... instead of calling someone weak, maybe lend them some of your strength if you see them struggling.

Is this an essay narrative or some kind of abstract personification?

I hope you are doing well?

@rejuvenated01 that's a good question, if you think about it though... alot of writing in general has some abstract personifications of the writer. 

But, yes, I am alright! Thank you for asking. I can see why this may be worrying, but it's just thoughts I got out of my head and not a cry for help in this case.

To add on, you don't feel tired after lifting a weight one. If you continue to lift it it continues to become harder. This is the same for mental health. If you get help you are lightening the load, resting so you can come back strong.
