I'm sorry I only got to this piece now, but this was a raw, vivid piece. I felt like I was on that ledge with you. I tasted the tears and heard the static. It was terrifying. But what matters is that you overcame it, and that in itself is a step forward in a different direction. Thank you for sharing this.

Thank you so much. It wasn’t pleasant experience relieving a lot of it but it’s the only way how I can speak my truth. And thank you so much for not flinching and running away i really appreciate it-Shain

Shain, this hit like a gut punch and a hand on the shoulder at the same time. The honesty in your words is raw and deeply human. Thank you for not turning this into something polished. Thank you for telling the truth. I felt every line in my bones. You’re still here. And that matters. More than you know.

I crave to feel that that truth in others. I am so happy we connected. I would be honored if you checked my posts too and give me some feedback. Anyway, I look forward to reading your texts.
