This is a compelling story of a man who attempted suicide by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. He talks about how, when his hands left the railing he was overcome with the feeling of regret.
To be blunt I tried to kill myself when I was 16. A sophomore in High School. Now everyone's first question when I say this is always why. Well I just turned 16, my best friend had moved to a different state, my first girlfriend and first true love had left me for a senior football player, and I had never felt so alone. I decided that this world was not meant for me and I ended up trying to take my own life. All I have to say now is thank God for the angel that is my mom for saving my life and letting me experience all the things I would have missed out on now in my life. Without her stepping in I would have missed the feeling of graduating high school. I would of missed meeting the love of my life over coffee. And the best thing in my life would never have existed,my daughter.
