When will you finally feel calm, grounded, and happy again? It all seems like too much for one person to carry.

I know what it’s like to carry so much pain inside of you that you go physically and mentally numb. I know how it feels to carry a shattered heart and a deep void of emptiness within (https://lonerwolf.com/feelingempty/).
