I am in my head; not society.
Yes, that is who I am, hence the bold am. Also, a brain angel. (+ my own incarnation of a Zelda concept).
My thoughts align w action to succeed what needs (at least in my dreamed ideal, they do)…

Yeah I'm glad he's not suicidal anymore and I personally know what people experience after they die, but this kind of thinking is basically like "don't eat one more chip... but if you do you won't get fatter." Thinking about what you're not going to do tends to make you do it, which is called the white bear effect (not after the Black Mirror episode, probably vice versa) and rationalizing it as not so bad is a huge problem.
1 Corinthians 15:1-11 ASV
[1] Now I make known unto you brethren, the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye received, wherein also ye stand, [2] by which also ye are saved, if ye hold fast the word which I preached unto you, except ye believed in vain. [3] For I delivered unto you first of all that which also I received: that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] and that he was buried; and that he hath been raised on the third day according to the scriptures; [5] and that he appeared to Cephas; then to the twelve; [6] then he appeared to above five hundred brethren at once, of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep;
[7] then he appeared to James; then to all the apostles; [8] and last of all, as to the child untimely born, he appeared to me also. [9] For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. [10] But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. [11] Whether then it be I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.

Well this is what the bible says, one of many verses that speak about Jesus resurrection. In any case I do not pretend to get engrossed on a teological discussion, rather to share with you that I found true hope and a change of life through the faith in Jesus and he actually rid me of a 10 years depression among other stuff.
I didnt born at christian family either though I became one at 23. I understand that you don't wish to face religious prosecution, actually that's something that happens to most christians in any way or another even in non religious societies. Jesus said that will be part of being his disciple in this world. In any case if you want to speak more about it or just want me to lend an ear to you, you can always inbox me.
