Thank you for sharing your real and raw experience. I believe that by sharing your story, you are giving others hope. Maybe this is a part of your healing process - and that healing yields hope. Always remember, that while you may sometimes feel alone, that you aren’t alone. You are so deeply loved, my friend.

Thank you so much for this. I hope that others find something good here, y’know? Hope, comfort, strength, whatever it is they need. This is most definitely part of the healing process. I just can’t wait until I’m on the other side, if that day ever comes. Appreciate you reading and sharing your thoughts with me.

Girl, I felt this one in my teeth. 🥺🖤🖤

We have lived such parallel lives, it fascinates me to no end. Reading your work damn near feels like reading about myself. It might be eerie if it didn't have me feeling so connected and understood. I see you; I feel you out there.

For lack of better words, thank you. You've taken my breath away once again. 👏👏

Without you, this piece wouldn’t exist. I wouldn’t have peeled back the layers if you hadn’t asked the question, so thank you. Writing this was healing and I hope others find something here, too. That’s wild we’ve lived such parallel lives. I’m sorry you’ve had to go through the things I have but I’m glad it has brought us to one another. It helps to know you’re not alone. Thank you for being here, love.
