I am not going to do this. I’m going to write about all kinds of things. I’m not limiting myself in any way in order to be successful. I’m not looking for success. I’m just looking to preserve my writing and make it readily available to anyone who’d like to read / view it. If I can do that, I will consider it a success because it will be beneficial to my mental health. It will help others who struggle in the ways that I struggle. ———- Sometimes the only thing that you can do to help is to tell your story. Show others that you know what it is like to walk that path, and that they are not alone. That can change the world. That can save lives.
