Thank you for sharing your experience 💜 you worded something so painful, so beautifully. As someone who’s also struggled with the same thing, i see you. Words do little to describe that dark feeling and how alone it makes you feel. But I feel the more people write and put a face to their inner pain, it can inspire others —and that’s exactly what you’ve done! Sending love your way ✨🌸💜

Thank you for seeing me and my experience with living. I’m truly sorry you also feel burdened by this affliction. We learn so much when we face the inner pain and let it inspire others. In solidarity 🤍

You encapsulated the complexity of having hope and discouragement at the same time, as well as joy and grief, in such a poignant way. Young Richelle held onto hope even if others didn’t honor that or you and still choose to not. Thank you choosing to share your reflection with us. Thank you for choosing to live. The vulnerability in your writing is one I admire, looking forward to seeing your journey in your writing, growth and ever continuing learning of self.
