What do you do when you live in a world that requires you to have green paper with dead presidents stamped on it in order to survive?
What do you do when everyone around you has been brainwashed and conditioned to think the way society considers “normal?”
What do you do when you are the only one that notices that slavery never went away? For it has only been transformed.
What do you do when you can see exactly what people are thinking when they look at you, and have faces of disapproval when you do not meet their expectations?
What do you do when every one you’ve ever loved has turned on you in the coldest ways possible?
What do you do when you have a scar on your face that reminds you of the pain every single day?
What do you do when you have scars on your wrist that will never go away?
What do you do when no one has the ability to listen to your voice before trying to hear their own?
What do you do when you try to express your feelings but all the other person can do is think about their own?
What do you do when you’re a fatherless child in a world full of men who degrade women?
What do you do when you think about suicide, but the love of your mother is what holds you back?
What do you do?

we are all finding answers. you could stay and chat with us while finding those answers
we won’t judge you.
@wasted_l thanks. I think I just need someone to talk to. I’ve never had that.. it could help.
Sure. Whatever that helps you to feel better.
This is a great place. We might not have all the answers but are here to listen and offer support as we can. All I can really say is follow your passions, music, art, animals, whatever…let them keep you inspired and alive. When I was at my lowest point it was an art therapy group that kept me alive. I was amazed at how much better I felt because of it. I had so much going on inside my head and it really helped. Keep talking here, getting it out of your head can be such a relief.
