Detached (2016)
“If anything, I was deeper down the hole and the beam of light shining in on me was getting smaller and dimmer. How could I not feel worse? What seemed like the perfect ending was beyond my grasp. I might not have been so worried, but I saw a girl on a talk show that same week. She had no legs and only one arm. She’d lost her limbs and almost her life when she’d lain on the subway tracks and waited to be crushed to death. Something went wrong. She said a guardian angel was protecting her, and, a...lthough her body was terribly mangled, she was left alive. She never lost consciousness, even after the subway passed and she saw her leg lying a few feet down the tracks. She was in the hospital the better part of two years, had to have multiple surgeries, skin grafts, and extensive physiotherapy. But she said she’s never been so full of life, so full of happiness. She said she finally has a sense about the meaning of life. When someone asked her why she wanted to kill herself in the first place, she said she’d wanted to escape the memories of her childhood.MoreLess
