Who are you to decide what the meaning of perfection is and what makes you so high and mighty?
You’re just like a weed slowly getting bigger but killing a beautiful rose at the same time by taking all it’s light and smothering it
I hope that feeling of being better than anyone else was worth it to you because she’s gone and can’t ever come back
It’s worthless people like you that destroy something truly beautiful
You’ve caused innocence to die
Someone who didn’t fit in with your bullshit ideals and finally came to the point where she took her own fucking life
I hope you think about it every second of every day and you see her face when you try to fall asleep at night
I hope it fucking haunts you
Perfection is what each individual makes it
Be in charge of your own life not everyone else’s
Just yours
You’re just like a weed slowly getting bigger but killing a beautiful rose at the same time by taking all it’s light and smothering it
I hope that feeling of being better than anyone else was worth it to you because she’s gone and can’t ever come back
It’s worthless people like you that destroy something truly beautiful
You’ve caused innocence to die
Someone who didn’t fit in with your bullshit ideals and finally came to the point where she took her own fucking life
I hope you think about it every second of every day and you see her face when you try to fall asleep at night
I hope it fucking haunts you
Perfection is what each individual makes it
Be in charge of your own life not everyone else’s
Just yours

8-years ago, CHP Officer Kevin Briggs talked this young man out of jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.
That young man’s name is Kevin Berthia.
Today he is 30 years old and married with 2 children.
This week he presented Officer Briggs with an award on behalf of the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.
The story of how Officer Briggs talked Kevin down is remarkable.
As you can see in the picture, Kevin is literally one step away from jumping to his death. But for more than hour, the officer listened to Kevin pour his heart out about his troubles and told him, “I know you think things are bad, but they can get better.”
Kevin says, “Officer Briggs never made me feel guilty for the situation I was in. He made feel like, I understand why you are here, but there are alternatives”
Kevin is just one of countless lives Briggs has saved over his 23 year career.
Briggs, who was promoted to Sergeant five years ago, is humble about what he does. He says, ”they make the decision, when they step back over that rail it takes a tremendous amount of courage”
I salute Sergeant Briggs!
