Your mental health is more important than a relationship.
Itâs so hard to ask for love these days. All a person would want is to be appreciated and loved just like all those cute couples out there.

Thereâs always the âtrust issuesâ surrounding your mind even if you guys are doing fine, even if neither of you has ever cheated on the other. The sad reality is, everyone is scared of commitment.

The Pain of Others
Did we have space? Who had case capacity? What options did the survivor have for government benefits, for immigration relief, for medical care, for legal protections, for help with their children, for work, for future housing? Did we have any funds left for an emergency hotel or Safeway gift cards? Could anyone else make it to their court hearing next week? How could we support an undocumented survivor in leaving abuse, given that their abuser had a gun, routinely threatened to report them to ICE, and that the survivor was completely opposed to involving law enforcement? What about the survivor who wanted a divorce, but felt they couldnât separate from their abusive spouse until their joint asylum case concluded? Who could we report police misconduct to, or discrimination we encountered while interacting with district attorneys or court personnel? And as we tried to untangle all the different logistical aspects of someoneâs case, how could we also help alleviate this personâs suffering, hold their trauma, affirm their rage, ease their despair, help them feel less alone?
