Speaking on her suicide attempts Paris said “It was like ‘OK, OK, OK I’ve tried so many times maybe it’s just not my time’ and that sucks,” she said. “It was just the radical acceptation of when it’s my time, it’s my time and I’ll wait it out until then and during that waiting time I’ve found just more and more joys in life and more ways to cope.”
