YouTube knows more about what's going on in my life than my own family.

Edit : Thanks to all you wonderful folks for sparing a moment to drop by. It means a lot.
Amid these difficult times take good care of yourselves and stay safe y'all. 💜

I guess Ruv seems to be in pain and only his bravery can mask the pain for a period of time

The only problem is: how to tell your in pain without getting scolded for not saying your in pain sooner, rather than later

I am 13 years old and I am so glad that I know about human actions.
You helped me allot in understanding my friends,
get away from fake friends that are just using me,
and help me to understand more about the people that I care about.
Thank you

When you're in so much denial pretending to be fine that you want to know for sure whether or not you even ARE in pain.

Edit: the answer is YES.

The best career advice that I learned is don’t ever attach your-self to a PERSON, a place, a company, an organization or a project. Only Attach your-self to your mission in life and your PURPOSE. That’s how you keep your power and keep your peace!

What if they used to be supper happy, and excited easily, but now they just be quiet and it takes alot to make them laugh?

WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE RUV REFERENCE??? PLS HES AMAZING 😫😫

[marsrae]

I withdrew from my family for months and after I lost my mom last month, I pushed my emotions down and started working back to back 16 hour days on top of school. I pushed myself so much that my blood pressure so high that I had a heart attack at 28. Take care of yourself. Talk to someone and work through it. Your mental health and also your physical health need it. I still struggle with 6 and 7 to today.

I'm a simple girl,

I saw a notification from Psych2Go and saw Ruv's hat, I clicked faster than Whitty on ballistic

I've always hide my pain from others. It's not always easy, but I have to do it.

[mariahaddadin]

Unfortunately I just can't bring myself to burden others with my issues, no matter how welcoming they are
