But now that he's on the other side of this thing, his relationship to these facts might be changing and it'll continue to change. So for example, this year, he might think of himself as a formerly suicidal person who survived and wants everyone to know. Next year or the year after, or I don't know, five years from now, he might not identify with these facts in the exact same way.

Just the fact that he's made all of these new friends since this happened, in a big way, that was informed by the suicide attempt, but in another way, he formed those friendships as he was becoming a very different person.

So what I'm getting at is, it might be important for him that these people know what he went through, the person he was before they met, or he might want to just allow these new friends to know him as the person he is now. which he obviously feels is a much healthier and more authentic version of himself and that is equally part of his story.

And there are lots of ways to pursue that mission. You could talk to your friends directly. You could go volunteer at a crisis hotline or a suicide hotline, which by the way, I did in high school and it was life-changing and I love it. And part of me even wants to go maybe volunteer again later in life. quite something.
