In the last few years, it seems like the world is a never-ending maze of pain with no way out. It's too lonely to bear, and the future looks bad and uncertain. At this point, the simplest things—personal hygiene, eating, socializing; things most people do without thinking twice—became big problems. Im numb, apathetic, and uninterested [...]
Everyone wants to be happy, feel good about themselves, and be free. It’s something we all deserve. But sometimes, being too happy is scary. There are moments when I’m enjoying life, feeling on top of the world, and not worrying about anything. Just living in the present, thinking that everything is finally going well. But [...]
First and foremost, I want you to know, how special you are, and I don’t mean it in the way your parents do. When they boast about you to their friends and your family, because that always seemed forced, even though I’m sure they mean well. No, I want you to know how you light [...]

They ask why you're not good at opening up, but they don't realize what they do when you actually try to open up. Sometimes you want to talk. You want to say everything that’s been eating you up.
