The Bridge – a disturbing look at the high rate of suicides (more than any other bridge anywhere) that happen by people jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge.For one year, they filmed the bridge daily and captured 23 out of the 24 plunges to death, in addition to filming friends and family members of those who jumped. <br /><br />2.

I've been in a bit of a blue place lately, feeling out of touch with happiness and with the role I want to fill in this world. After watching this documentary I feel reinvigorated and ready for what is to come. It really gave me that extra little boost that I needed. <br /><br />On a related note, I want to thank you for what you do here on this blog. My roommate and I have been following you for the past couple of years, and we get such joy out of what you share with us here! Your candidness and your bravery and honesty are inspirational. Even the little things like posts about autumn colors or happy kitten video can really brighten up a day. I love reading your blog because you are so honest, and something about your honesty reminds me that I'm part of something bigger, that even though we may lead different lives, we are all in some way interconnected. I guess I'm posting a thanks because you deserve it. What you're doing here is a really beautiful thing and I've just realized that I've never thanked you and yet you've given me and my friends such joy! <br /><br />Woof! What a post!<br /><br />All the best, <br /><br />A regular reader, EmilyEDSkeggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17025100504296257197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28060897.post-3045343884299865902012-10-04T16:10:06.114-04:002012-10-04T16:10:06.114-04:00I love this idea and want to start a club with my ...I love this idea and want to start a club with my friend.
