I was depressed in high school and talking to my mom about happiness and one of the things she said to me, was that often real happiness comes from learning to be happy with being content.
At the time I honestly found the thought kind of depressing, but it stuck with me and I’ve only seen it to be truer and truer as I’ve gotten older.
I hope you know that what your mom said to you is not the whole truth. “suicide is something weak cowards think about” is true, but you don’t have to be a weak coward to think about suicide. “not every one can be happy” doesn’t mean you and your loved ones are destined to not be happy.
For anyone reading this you should know if you have suicidal or depresssed thoughts you are NOT weak or a coward despite what this person (or my mom) says.
You can’t help feeling like shit and want the pain to stop. It does NOT say anything about you, other than you are suffering. Fuck anyone else who says otherwise.

Better than what my mom told my depressed teenage ass: “not every one can be happy” and “suicide is something weak cowards think about”. Thanks mom.
