I created this two years ago as a response to my overwhelmed mind. The process was not a therapy, because I later sought professional support and learned many new emotional skills (I am still learning right now!).

When I first shared this piece with a close friend two years ago, she encouraged me to create more content like this. She told me that she had a phase when she felt the same way, and my work reminded her of her own life. We are no longer in close contact due to being in different countries and chapters in life, but I still want to surprise her one day by showing her this blog.

I also want to share this piece of work with you. Many of us may have similar thoughts from time to time, but they are hidden somewhere deep in our hearts. I am grateful that God has helped me to overcome many seasons like this, and gave me more and more “reasons to stay alive” each day.

I wish the same for you, too.
