I have. I've always been fascinated by fire. It's so beautiful and yet so dangerous. I've often imagined what it would be like to feel the flames licking at my skin, to feel the heat coursing through my body. But I've never actually had the courage to do it.
Until now.
I'm not sure what came over me. I was just sitting in my room, staring at the fire in the fireplace, when I suddenly felt an overwhelming urge to set myself on fire. I got up and walked over to the fireplace, and before I knew it, I had doused myself in gasoline and lit a match.
The flames engulfed me in an instant. I felt a sharp pain at first, but then it quickly turned into a strange sensation of euphoria. I felt like I was flying. I felt like I was invincible.
I danced around the room, laughing and screaming. I felt like I was on top of the world. But then, just as quickly as it had started, the fire went out. I looked down at my body and saw that I was covered in burns. I was in agony.
I collapsed to the floor and started to cry. I couldn't believe what I had done. I had set myself on fire. I had ruined my life.
But then, something strange happened. I started to laugh. I laughed because I realized that I was still alive. I had survived. I had set myself on fire, and I had lived to tell the tale.
I'm not sure what the future holds for me. I may have ruined my body, but I have not ruined my spirit. I am a survivor. I am a testament to the human spirit's ability to overcome even the most difficult challenges.
If you are ever thinking about setting yourself on fire, please don't. It is not worth it. The pain is not worth it. The scars are not worth it. But if you do set yourself on fire, please know that you are not alone. There are people who care about you. There are people who will help you. There is hope.
