The Void Stares Back

We all fall.
We all fail.
We all want to give up at times when the night is darkest.
But you are not alone.
Every day, people go through very similar challenges.
Yet we feel so alone when we are in its depths.
We stare into the void.
The void stares back.
Find your people.
Connect.
Talk.
Especially in the darkest hours.
You can lie down for a while.
Give up for a moment.
Your people will sit by, understanding, accepting.
Then that voice.
Tiny little voice way, way down in the depths of your soul
