Falling

Close your eyes...

Be in the moment...

Breathe in and out...

Feel the air against your body...

Just take it all in...

Keep breathing...

Stay calm...

Don't beat yourself up for it...

Accidents happen...

That's what mistakes are for, so we can learn from them...

Look on the bright side...

This may be the final mistake you will ever make in your life...

Be proud of that...

Take it all in...

And breathe...

Look at the trees as you make your way down to the bottom...

And admire what is all around you...

Admire the birds watching you with interest...

Think of all you have accomplished in your life and what you have learned...

Think of the good that you have given to the world... to people... to your family... to your friends...

But most importantly...

Think about the good you have done for yourself...

What do you think happened when you were hiking that mountain...?

How did you get yourself to fall off that cliff...?

Don't Know...

Must have slipped I guess...

It all happened so fast. Didn't even watch where I was going...

In the end it doesn't matter...

Forgive yourself...

Focus only on you...

No one else...

Just you...

You're running out of time...

I love my family, my friends...

Getting closer...

I am grateful for having them in my life...

Closer...

They will remember who I am. I can guarantee that...

Almost there...

Goodbye mom...

Goodbye dad...

See you on the oth-
