When I was in high school, I had very dark thoughts. I wanted to share those on this episode, perhaps to give some insight into what could be going through someone's mind, as well as reach out to anyone who might be feeling isolated or having similar thoughts. Something I want to stress that I believe I forgot to mention in the episode: another MASSIVE deterrent to me going through with something violent was that I did not have any easy access to guns in the Bay Area—to this day I've still never shot a gun. Had they been readily available, things may have been different.
