I have the right to destroy myself

No this isn’t a direct quote from the birthday girl, or any other teen in the house. I have the right to destroy myself is the title of the book I chose to read after attempting Darkmans. Ha. I went from one really weird book to another.

Thank goodness “I have the right…” was much shorter, much easier to read, and much more interesting. Also, the “message board member” in me is tempted to put “trigger” in the subject line, not because I’m going to write anything really triggering here but because the book could totally trigger self-harmers.

But it is interesting. Is there one “thing” – persona, spirit, angel from hell – who wanders around helping those who have decided to kill themselves? Some common “thing” guiding us, like a guardian angel, because we do have the right to make that choice and when we decide, we should have help.

It’s interesting, isn’t it?
