My therapist probably will not approve of this, but whenever I get the feeling of offing myself, I actually just watch the view from halfway down from Bojack Horseman. If you haven't seen the show, it's about a character who committed suicide by jumping off a bridge and he is talking about the view from halfway down as he falls to the ground. The view from halfway down. The weak breeze whispers nothing. The water screams sublime. His feet shift, teeter-totter. Deep breath, stand back, it's time. Toes untouch the overpass. Soon he's waterbound. Eyes locked shut but peek to see the view from halfway down. I'm not done. Hold on. I'm not done. I'm not done. A little wind, a summer sun, a river rich and regal. A flood of fond endorphins brings a calm that knows no equal. You're flying now. You see things much more clear than from the ground. It's all okay. It would be, were you not now halfway down. Thrash to break from gravity. What now could slow the drop? All I'd give for toes to touch the safety back at top. I changed my mind. I changed my mind. I don't want to. It's okay. But this is it. The deed is done. Silence drowns the sound. Before I leaped, I should have seen the view from halfway down. No, I really should have thought about the view from halfway down. Find your peace, big guy. Find it. I wish I could have known about the view from halfway down. Is it terrifying? No. I don't think so. It's the way it is, you know? Everything must come to an end. The drip finally stops. See you on the other side. Oh Bojack, no. There is no other side. This is it. I need to make a phone call. Diane, Diane, are you there? Diane, I need you. Bojack? Diane, thank God. Thank God, Diane. Okay, Diane. Diane, you're gonna save me, right? I called you and you're coming to get me? Oh Bojack, why did you call me? I live in Chicago. I can't save you. You didn't pick up, right? Right. It went to voicemail. Yeah. And then I went back in the pool. It's too late. What's done is done. No. There's nothing I can do, Bojack. I'm not real. None of this is. So what do I do now? Bojack, it doesn't matter. Well, if it doesn't matter, can I stay on the phone with you at least? Okay. How was your day? Good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. My day was good.
