Hello! I am a beaver, here to save you.

When I was standing on the edge of the 10-story balcony, when I was suffering from incurable depression, when I was not good...

Would you like to give me a hand?

We all desire better, everthing will be OK. Just believe it, tell yourself, tell others, and emphasize each other.

Then work hard. When you do it, it’s natural; but when you can’t do it, when you can’t avoid it, do you criticize me, blame me, stay away from me, misunderstand me...

Or, give me a hug.

Even though I tried to be alone, even though I virtualized a friend to give me meticulous care, I thought that I could pretend that I could start all over again.

But what is lost is lost. Those who cannot rewrite the past, who cannot be replaced...

Finally, I woke up. My imaginary "restart" was just another escape, because I didn't have enough strength to face everything from scratch on my own.

If I didn't say it, if I was willing to give up everything, if I told you: Let's start over again...

Will you be willing to stay with me?

    The lie and bullshit we hear most often is "everything will be alright"

The Beaver quotes

  • Walter Black: We reach a point where, in order to go on, we have to wipe the slate clean. We start to see ourselves as a box that we're trapped inside and no matter how we try and escape, self help, therapy, drugs, we just sink further and further down. The only way to truly break out of the box is to get rid of it all together... I mean, you built it in the first place. If the people around you are breaking your spirit, who needs them? Your wife who pretends to love you, your son who can't even stand you. I mean, put them out of their misery. Starting over isn't crazy. Crazy is being miserable and walking around half asleep, numb, day after day after day. Crazy is pretending to be happy. Pretending that the way things are is the way they have to be for the rest of your bleeding life. All the potential, hope, all that joy, feeling, all that passion that life has sucked out of you. Reach out, grab a hold of it and snatch it back from that bloodsucking rabble.

  • Porter Black: Good afternoon, graduates, dead poets, painters, future Einsteins, and all those in between. Today I'm here to warn you, that you are being lied to. Our parents, our teachers, our doctors, have lied to us. And it's the exact same lie. The same six words, "Everything is going to be okay."
