So deep and very relatable, very well written, I'm sure this speaks to a lot of people the same.
Excellent
Sadly, every line of this was very relatable. I'm so glad you wrote about this! I loved it!
You said it well. I'm glad to see a piece calling attention to something that affects so many people.
I think you described it pretty well. Well written and important piece. Well done.
Sad 🥹But a Very Good Piece❤️😉
You captured me pretty well. And yes, thank you for posting the crisis line number, though, since I live in the States, I'm not sure it's available for me.
Splendid selfless signs surrounding stylish stanzas... And thank you for posting the info on the numbers and help available. ;)
