Every times I hear of someone committing suicide, I think about what else a person can do if they feel like their life has ended and nobody cares.
I think that if one is in the depths of despair you need to take care of yourself, whether it’s a bottle of Coke, your favorite ice cream, or a trip out of town. A nap helps a lot. A bubble a bath (not Whitney Houston style, RIP). A retreat? Or buy yourself a present. Talk to a friend. Go to church. Get a massage. See a doctor. Check in at the hospital. Anything but suicide.
But for Michael Marin—convicted arsonist who burned his house because he couldn’t pay his mortgage—it appears he just wanted out the minute he was served a guilty verdict in court.
Watch as he seems to slip some poison into his system and dies in this video.
Whats up with the string of negative topics on your blog?
I kind of miss all the inspiring posts and design filled posts that you used to write about.

I feel so sad for this guy. He was driven to the edge talaga – burning his own house to pay for debts, tapos taking his own life. I’m sure he’s not the only person who feels like there’s no way out, in this uncertain climate with financial crises left and right (and let’s not even count China’s bullying tactics or North Korea’s delusions).
You’re right, Ms. C. You need a friend, you need God (or to whatever deity you believe in), you need a way out, but sana not this way out. :'(
