Thank you for your comment. I've also decided to live life to the best of my abilities this summer. It's not easy and we take one day after the other but we're still here 💜

reading this made me feel seen. about the pessimism or realism (depending on how people see it), about the ideations (that are still passive in my case) and the constant regret to still be here when i open my eyes in the morning, about the shame to feel that way in moments where everything is supposed to be relatively going well.. thank you for sharing and be so opened about this.

I could say so much but words seem to fail me in moments like these. But thank you for sharing this vulnerable and reflective writing. As a 20-something chronically ill, depressed Neurodivergent person, I see quite a bit of myself in it. Which has alleviated some of the isolation I’ve felt recently. So thank you again, for a moment of peace and I hope even if it’s thru gritted teeth, you receive some peace as well. 🤍🕊️

P.S. the book recommendation is honestly a great book! I read it when I was at one of my more recent low points. Reading it felt like being seen and comforted without the judgement or comparison found in myself or even loved ones.

Hi Lex. Thank you for your comment. I know it's hard to find the words but I'm glad this piece could help you feel less isolated because the isolation makes it all worse. I receive your wishes of peace with opened hands🤲🏾. And with your review, I'm looking forward to read this book even more.

Most of this hit home in a way I don’t think anything else I’ve read so far has. Thank you for writing.
