Hello everyone! Call me Belial. I'm a mostly horror writer, but I also write a lot of tragedy, romance, and comedy. I know how to start a story, bu i am horrible at finishing one.

And this was totally the best thing to read right before bed.
As someone with depression who is in a similar situation to RD in this fic, some of the story hits home. I feel like she does about some things. We're both at our highest that we've been in life. It seems like the sky's the limit, but when you're in the sky, doesn't that put you at your limit? The pressure can be intense, but it can also feel like a major letdown. I can feel where she's coming from here, up until she says that falling would be better than flying. See, the way I look at it is that maybe the sky IS the limit. Maybe we can't go higher... But what about further? Isn't there more somewhere out there? I had thoughts that went slightly suicidal a while back, but when I saw it that way, I was able to wrestle with them and win.
Author, depression sucks major donkey balls. I hate it, that feeling in the morning when you don't feel like you can even open your eyes, or the feeling that it doesn't matter if you do or not. I hate the feeling of isolation. I hate it when I hate myself for feeling like that. Author, I get it.
Don't be like Dash, author. Talk to someone. Not just some loser on the internet (ahem, me), but someone who can help you. And if you already are, great! Keep doing it. Don't let L'appel Du Vide claim you. Keep flying, author. Keep fighting. Keep writing.
I felt this story, and it resonated with me. I'll be watching to see what you come up with next.

I've felt like this before. Felt like maybe I should just let go.
Yeah, depression does suck. But I've managed to hold on this long.
Good story. It may be a vent fic, but I liked it. Keep up the good work!
I frankly think that the only way to make this more cliché than it already is would be to make flaming doves appear in the background and having them sing Hallelujah.
Also, "L'appel Du Vide" (And yes, Du Vide is two words; believe the French) doesn't refer to being so depressed you think about jumping. It's when you're doing your regular, everyday activities, then you come across a ledge, and you feel the need to jump not because you're sad, but because it's the most radical choice your brain can make at that moment. It has f**k all to do with depression.
Why does this seem so similar to what I feel, except without all the accomplishments Dash has to look back on?
Seems like a lot of people are depressed lately. I know it's not just me.
Ay, ay... I don't want to sound like that guy, but I've been in this situation too. Faced with a crossroads in your life, where you feel that tired. I chose the correct path, and hopefully you do too. I can only tell you that L'appel Duvide is not the notion you want to give in to. I hope you choose not to give in, and keep on flyin'. Stay awesome!
6145422 Thank you for the nice comment. ^-^
I'm not really all that depressed, i just have a small bit of depression and aome anxiety issues - nothing all that serious. i just needed to write something dark.
6145587 I know haha this is a cliche mess but i literally wrote it because i couldn't think of anything else to write so eyyy. *shrug*
&& I new that it's not what it meant, but really wanted to name a story that and couldn't think of any better way to use it pfft.
What might make this even sadder is that being so relaxed actually increases your survival rate in falls, even from terminal velocity. Unconscious people and, ironically, people who attempt suicide, have a higher survival rate than anyone else. With her slightly spread wings slowing her down just that little bit, there's a fair chance that she might live through this (with horrific injuries).
6145843 By the way, did you learn about L'appel du vide through danisnotonfire? Just wondering.
6147272 Nah, There was a post on tumblr of illustrations for sayings that you don't really have in English, and I read it from there. I'd link the post but I saw it a long time ago haha.
Not bad i've heard worse *cough* http://www.fimfiction.net/story/267700/belle-button-and-sandal *cough* but its good
This... is really good. Some grammar errors, sure. But this is one of those rare cases where it's barely noticeable, simply because the rest is so substantial. I'm not one to analyze in great depth, but I gotta say... I went into this little 1300-word story expecting much less than I got. Terrific work.
This was great, totally describes the emotions, ya know? Anyway, good job!
I'm saying to myself: Life is terrible, but there are beautiful spots you can go to. Do something fun like reading a good book or watching MLP or go talk with family or friends. Doing something that makes fun, show myself I'm not alone. I know, without fun or family I wouldn't be writting this. I'm over it, and I'm glad about.
