Suicide

Suicide

I have been blessed to encounter the most beautiful of people in my life. Some for a long time, and others for a very short while. I truly believe that advocating the awareness for those who attempted and for those who have succeeded. It is more than a “selfish act” it is a silenced pandemic that lies deep in our society and needs more understanding

End addictions before it starts

End addictions before it starts

doctors, medical professionals, and people who have claimed to “cure their own addiction” will give you many many explanations to why addiction exists. mental illness, disorders, substantial loss, abuse and other triggers. Yes, these can contribute to the severity of one's addiction, but that is not the cause. Listen closely, because the cause has nothing to do with genetics, your mental inabilities or abilities, or traumatic past it is strictly caused by how you fill your time.
