Book excerpt, Jenny L. Lillard

โWhat do you tell someone who expresses the intent to commit suicide? Do you not tell them, โ๐๐ถ๐ช๐ค๐ช๐ฅ๐ฆ ๐ช๐ด ๐ข ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐ฎ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ต ๐ด๐ฐ๐ญ๐ถ๐ต๐ช๐ฐ๐ฏ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ข ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ข๐ณ๐บ ๐ฑ๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ฎโ? Yet, what if the problem they are trying desperately to escape is far from temporary? If a fifteen year old utilities suicide as a means to escape the abuse she has experienced over half of her life, and there is no end of abuse in sight, โtemporaryโ is an irrelevant term. ๐ ๐ฐ๐ถ ๐ฉ๐ข๐ท๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ฆ๐ง๐ช๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ ๐ธ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ฅ โ๐ต๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ข๐ณ๐บ.โโ – JLL

โYou have fought too many battles in your heart for people who would rather pull a trigger than take a bullet for you. Now is time to start fighting for yourself and let your mind breathe.โ – JLL
Book excerpt, Jenny L. Lillard

“Do you know the cost of kindness toward a stranger? It’s 1 minute of your time to hold a door, 30 seconds to slow down so someone can merge in traffic, 5 seconds to smile and wave in passing. Whatever the cost may be, it’s A LOT LESS than the emotional toll life has taken on them.” – JLL
Book excerpt, Jenny L. Lillard
