I've never felt I wanted to be dead. I've felt that I wanted my life to not have happened. All the troubles I've felt responsible for, all the people looking to me for answers, all my responsibilities and cares not left unresolved (as they would be by death) but never having happened.
Not an ending, but an un-happening.
