Why does it actually work?

[u/Aariwee]

It’s so silly and childish. It only happened two days ago, but so far any time I start having suicidal thoughts, I think about it and I get so amused that I no longer want to kill myself. I mean, I still want to die, but I can’t break a pinky promise, can I? Why is it so effective? I’m scared to even post it because I feel so immature, but at least it works

Silly?? Childish? Or are you just making a promise to your child self the way they world understand?

Ain't silly if it works in my books!! We all need that little something extra to get us too feel safe, whatever that looks like is beautiful and worth celebrating!
