Suicide Bridge No Longer

in #life5 years ago



Every fall kids from all over the world flock to Ithaca in droves to attend the fairly exclusive University that is Cornell...



...and some of them find the adjustment a rather large struggle. And when their grades start slipping, their emotional state slides down with them-



-hence the cage around this bridge.

Obviously if someone is determined to end things they'll find another way,



but there will be no spontaneous "goodbye cruel world" decisions in this spot!



It is impressively high, even with all the precautions I find myself experiencing a certain amount of vertigo.



It is sad to think if those young souls who ended it here, who couldn't see past their present, it's too bad no one ever shared this quote with them-

"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending." - C.S. Lewis

Pretty scenery! I was going to ask if the bridge had tent netting but in one of the other photos it seems to which is good. Still pretty sad though :<

That quote is pretty cool, I don't think I've heard that one before.
