On September 25, 2000, 19-year-old Kevin Hines attempted to end his own life by jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge. Plunging over 220 feet at a speed of 75 miles per hour, he hit the water below, shattering three of his vertebrae and narrowly missing severing his spine by two millimeters. Despite the odds, he miraculously survived the impact.

Upon realizing he was still alive, an intense will to live surged within him. Yet, the weight of his clothes continuously pulled him beneath the surface of San Francisco Bay. For what seemed like an eternity, he struggled to resurface briefly, gasping for air, just enough to hold on to life.

Suddenly, he felt an unusual force from below lifting him above the water's surface, where he remained until the Coast Guard arrived. It was only later that he discovered the mysterious presence keeping him afloat: a sea lion had been supporting his body until the rescue boat arrived, as eyewitnesses had observed.

His story gained major media coverage and he has since become a motivational speaker and advocate for suicide prevention.

this post is for all my fellow peeps who have been gifted more journals than they'll ever fill and/or whose journals/diaries are practically gibberish

[Ava Car-Mac @AvaCarMac77]

now that we know aliens are real, when they study us thousands of years from now, they're going to be PISSED at the amount of empty journals trying to gather history

Fun fact: the term "Gaslighting" comes from the 1944 movie Gaslight in which a woman's husband messes with the gas lamps around the house to make her think she's losing her mind so he can manipulate her.

This man is quite literally Gaslighting his wife, and yall think it's funny......ok🧍🏾‍♀️

my 6th grade teacher was kinda a jerk, but I'll never forget her taking me into the hallway to explain a panic attack when I'd written in our weekly letter to her that my mom had had one. she also kept menstrual products at her desk. hope retirement is treating her well.
