Someone moved to Israel with no language skills and hit severe depression, feeling like the third suicide in their family. They realized darkness could strip away distractions and give them clarity. Over fifteen years they rebuilt their life on their own terms.

Chapters

We moved to Israel, barely spoke the language, didn't know the culture, and came close to becoming my family's number 3 in suicide. I thought, you know, I'd be worth more dead than alive, a typical male story. And basically came to that point and to my knees. And that was one of the greatest moments of my life. I don't want to wish it upon anybody, but if it comes to you and you're in the darkness, there's meaning in the darkness and you can strip away the bullshit and you can get real clear, real quick. And you can start rebuilding. And so for the past 15 years, I have been rebuilding my life on purpose, by my design, by my rules, and I am just really grateful to have been given this chance.
