    One of the most (personally suicide-deterring) quotes I’ve ever read is from Golden Gate Bridge jump survivor Ken Baldwin.

    I realized then that all of the problems in my life that I thought were unsolvable were in fact solvable—except for having just jumped.

    There’s nothing more horrifying to me than the possibility of realizing that regret.

    There’s also a documentary called The Bridge that recorded jumpers while they were filming. “During filming, on average, one person jumped off the Golden Gate Bridge every 15 days.”
