Childish Gambino Says Everyone has Suicidal Thoughts

Actor turned rapper, Childish Gambino said in a recent interview with Complex Magazine that everyone has suicidal thoughts. Well, maybe, maybe not. But I do know that most creative people have suicidal thoughts; mostly because they do a fine dance on the thin line between sanity and insanity. I used to not want to talk about my suicidal thoughts in the past, till a female friend of mine I also saw as very strong told me about hers. Now I tell my friends about my suicidal thoughts all the time. I don't know why; maybe in-case i finally get to do it, people won't think it was actually a homicide. But deep down I know I wont ever get around to do it, cos I have so much I want to do in this world, and that fact will never allow me to go ahead and kill myself.





Last year, Childish Gambino put up notes on his Instagram, which detailed his suicidal thoughts, and when asked about it during his recent interview with Complex, he said...




“Everybody has the same fears. If my letters did anything, they proved that everyone kinda feels the same way. I’m not special. Those letters were not special. They were just louder because I have a platform. You have to be real with yourself. No one is doing that. People are too concerned with making everything look nice and calm and pretty…I’m still here. I obviously still like it here. Everybody feels that way. Everybody has suicidal thoughts. Everybody is on the verge of suicide every day. You could die at any moment! You could have a brain aneurysm.”



i agree with him that most people try to paint a picture like everything is all good, when they might be hurting inside. Especially most celebrities; they put on a show for the public. We are all fragile and emotional beings, no matter how much macho or in control we make the public believe we are.
