Human Emotions
I watched the drama Our Beautiful Summer and it showed that suicide is not really due to having less people around you who love you. There may be many people who love you, but loneliness isn't a lack of people; it is something only an individual would understand and it is very personal. The character who died had a lovely family and brothers who loved her, but they weren't able to express it; despite that, she was smiling and fighting at the same time, and her struggles were not noticed not because they didn't care, but because they are humans too and human emotions are complex. She knew her family loved her, yet she wasn't able to think about those who loved her; she never blamed them and even in her letter told her mother not to blame herself, showing how one actually goes through these uncontrollable emotions. Similarly, the girl who became a friend-sister to the triplets had a mother who loved her but wasn't there when needed, and she was saved by one of the brothers. Their realization made them regretful and they all responded differently to the accident even though all were feeling guilty; it is only when someone is gone that we start to connect the dots which otherwise would have remained invisible. What actually helps a depressed person is an unexpected thing that makes you feel life is at least worth living; the triplets became the reason for the girl’s change and, while they weren't trying to replace their sister, saving her helped them heal because they were finally able to protect someone.
