More From Shane Koyczan

"i've found out why people laugh. they laugh because it hurts so much... because it's the only thing that'll make it stop hurting" ... "but that's not all people laugh at." "isn't it? perhaps i don't grok all its fullness yet. but find me something that really makes you laugh sweetheart... a joke, or anything else- but something that gave you a a real belly laugh, not a smile. then we'll see if there isn't a wrongness wasn't there." he thought. "i grok when apes learn to laugh, they'll be people."
Hurt Real People
What a sight there is in that "smile!" it changes like a chameleon. there is a vacant smile, a cold smile, a smile of hate, a satiric smile, an affected smile; but, above all, a smile of love.
Hate Sight Cold
In the nineteenth year and the eleventh month speak your tattered kaddish for all suicides: praise to life though it crumbled in like a tunnel on ones we knew and loved praise to life though its windows blew shut on the breathing-room of ones we knew and loved praise to life though ones we knew and loved loved it badly, too well, and not enough praise to life though it tightened like a knot on the hearts of ones we thought we knew loved us praise to life giving room and reason to ones we knew and loved who felt unpraisable. praise to them, how they loved it, when they could.
Suicide Heart Years
The idea of my future simultaneously thrilled and terrified me, like standing at the lip of a very sheer cliff- i could fly, or fall. i didn't know how to fly, and i didn't want to fall. so i backed away from the cliff and went in search of something that had a clear, solid trajectory for me to follow, like hopscotch.
Fall Ideas Want
In the hours that followed, i learned that ademic hand gestures did not actually represent facial expressions. it was nothing so simple as that. for example a smile can mean you're amused, happy, grateful, or satisfied. you can smile to comfort someone. you can smile because you're content or because you're in love. a grimace or a grin look similar to a smile, but they mean entirely different things. imagine trying to teach someone how to smile. imagine trying to describe what different smiles mean and when, precisely, to use them in conversation. it's harder than learning to walk.
Grateful Mean Simple
A world where congressmen spend 30 to 70 percent of their time raising money from a tiny, tiny fraction of the 1% is a world where that tiny, tiny fraction has enormous power. and it's that inequality in political power that enables this corrupted system to happen.
