The Moment You Realize Family Is All You Truly HaveA few days ago, I saw something that has stayed with me. He was standing there, silent and lost, in front of his mother’s mortal remains.

Have you ever had to take a loan?I'm considering it. I know I can pay it back I just feel like it might help me to have the cash upfront then pay it back with the lump sums I should be getting. So Im not rationing so to speak my money.
I've been tired of life the way I am, and being meSometimes I feel like the world left me behind and nobody cares, like I'm dead weight drifting down a stream.

🖤THE TRUE MEANING OF UNHAPPINESS 🖤It is a hollowing, a kind of inner implosion where everything collapses inward. It isn’t sadness in the simple sense of crying or mourning; it’s a black, suffocating void where even tears dry up because they feel pointless. It’s waking up and... (...)
I accept it but I am not sure I understandWhile discussing my life, someone asked me, "well what would you have wanted your childhood to be?" Parents, mostly. A mom and a dad, in love and married, taking care of their kids together. Of course I had parents. But, my dad abused my mom... (...)
