I am not really okay mentally, so it is hard to study, to focus…and to live. I tried one of these online counselling sites, but when it came to the point in the conversation to actually talk about what’s been bothering me…i quickly realised that i’m not ready to share. I don’t know if there is someone out there who struggles w something like this…and reads this…but if there is, and you maybe know some kind of solution? advice? pls. contact me. It’s been enough. I want to get out of my head all those thoughts that don’t let me live.
What if all this counts for nothing
Everything I thought I’d be?
What if by the time I realize
It’s too far behind to see?
On the bright side….thanks for all the love on the best apps post. It feels good that people appreciate my work. thanks for all the lovely people who messaged me, commented, shared and liked <3 love you all.
