in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I'm Grace, 19, and I'm from the Philippines. I read about this site on a book by Holly Bourne and I was so intrigued so I gave it a try. Lately—more like two years now—I'm feeling really lost, pathetic, and tired and I don't know what to do. Even if I talk to my friends about what I'm going through, the burden just don't get lighter. I am hoping that by joining this site, I will heal and not.. die. That's it for now, I guess. Thank you for sparing some time to read this post. I wish you're having a better day.

    Welcome Grace :wave:
    Maybe somethings don't get better, but we do. We get stronger. We learn to live with our situations as messy and ugly as they are. We fix what we can and we adapt to what we can't. Maybe some of us will never fully be okay, but at least we're here. We're still trying. We're doing the best we can. That's worth celebrating too ❤
