You there, can you see me?
Can you see me through the cracks?
Do you see all the good in me
Or just what my character lacks?
Can you see the good times
On top of the bad times too?
I think about it often
For you, is it the best or worst of me that does shine through?
Hey there, can you hear me?
Can you hear me through the cracks?
Can you hear me through the Depression,
Anxiety, and multiple Panic Attacks?
Do you hear the emotion behind my words,
the ones I say to you?
Do you feel the sincerity in what I write
When I say I believe in you?
Please rememeber, YOU'RE NOT ALONE
in whatever it is you're going through!
Thank you for all the support you show, it means the world!

Peaceful Purpose
I have noticed that in the professional sphere, as far as I have noticed, that many people choose to come to work, mainly with the intention of collecting a paycheck, which I completely understand, unfortunately, we all need money to survive in this world. I also feel very strongly about the fact that if you are going to work in a profession, you should certainly treat that profession, whatever it may be, with the dignity that its purpose entails, whether you are working in the medical field, or working at a fast food restaurant, you should do you best to do the best job you can, because when it comes right down to it, we are all humans, going through the trials, and challenges that this life can bring us, by working together.

This is so raw and beautiful. I have tears x
I think we all feel this way. We just want someone to see us despite our flaws and to hold us when it happens.
