I survived a suicide attempt 10 years ago today [View all]

I’m still here. I would have missed so much - Cubs winning the World Series, two girlfriends, a year long relationship, losing my virginity, my autographed Sports Illustrated collection I hold so dearly, different places I’ve traveled and countless memories I’ve made in my career.

I’m glad I’ve survived, but I also would’ve missed the insanity in this country since then.
