Write a sad story in 6 words...

@peacefulHug92 my brother showed me "punishment"'s meaning

I can't find the right listener.

And it's frustrating me a lot.

There's so much locked inside me.

I have to get it out.

What am I going to do?

I feel like sleeping all day.

I'm drowning please let me breath

Convinced changing remains a total impossibility

Far away from family during holidays.

what happens if you embrace darkness?

Struggle decades improve time runs out

@peacefulHug92

why live for someone who lied

@mysteriousClover

Because you have to believe that there is someone else... someone very special, who is waiting for you somewhere in your future. NEVER loose hope, because until you meet that special someone, It is all you have to hold on to.

@limeCity1300

If you don't believe the sun will rise tomorrow, you will never make it through the night.

Finally enjoying community mind going fast

I feel it start to slip

Carved into stone: No one remembers.

@peacefulHug92

The loneliness crept slowly upon them.

Not sure why I even bother

Ready to walk into the darkness

28 years later we are over

@barncat Oh gosh barncat. I'm so sorry. *sending hugs and strength* ❤️

@mytwistedsoul- thank you, been a long time coming.

@NoneTheWiser- thank you for kind words. Life will be better in 2023.

Love is the greatest lie of all

@peacefulHug92 I once said, "I have a dream"

Still not happy after 30 years.

@reliableMaple8519

This is resonating. I’m here as a support if you ever wanna connect with an age-peer who is capable of understanding and willing to listen.

They let hurt steal their hope...😢

@EmotionsListener

The heaviness one wears as an empathetic peer listener. I hear the compassion behind your share and I really appreciate how you put this into words. ♡ So on poinnnnt!

You’ve inspired me to think about it and I’d like to build on this for those of us with complex/profound pain too— “Deep pain robs them of hope.” To some degree, we do ‘let’ it steal our hope but when we’ve been made to feel powerless.. it takes time before we can reclaim our power. And that’s okay. Not okay that it happened, but that we respond to complex trauma/adversity/conflict as humans.

Thank you for being so thought-provoking. It was a nice lil creative check-in exercise from OP, too. ᵕ̈

We’ve been sold out for weeks!

I still didn't find my love

Oh no, not again... my cereal!

(I... don't know where I was going with this lmao)
