Looking at the pictures changed my mind. I remember I took them because I found myself thinking about suicide in the shower. Not in a dark way, but in the sense that we all die. Perhaps my wish was to be in control of my life and my death. I didn’t see anything dark about it. Part of me wants to say this was because I desired to live in a meaningful way. But what life isn’t meaningful?
