"I've been in the abyss for too long. I've spent too much time among sad, sick people. I love each and every one of them, but they ARE sick and its up to me to try and heal them. Anyway...
I say this because I messaged [REDACTED] yesterday to ask how her day was going and she didn't reply. After a few hours, I began to fear for the worst.
Fortunately, she's fine. Just had family over. But I shouldn't have worried about her in the first place. Shouldn't have had to.
But this is how I have been shaped by my environment. Just this morning, someone on Imgflip was casually talking about killing him/herself.
It pains me, what a screwed-up world we live in. It pains me, to see people suffer so. I want to hug them, to hold them, to comfort them, to show them that everything will be alright."
