Love, and the weight that comes with it.

The people closest to us can also be the hardest to talk to.

Family can be love and pressure at the same time. Expectations, silences, old fights, the things nobody says at the dinner table. You can be grateful and still hurt.

Here people share those feelings without anyone knowing who they are. Read them, find the one that sounds like home, and add yours if it helps to set it down somewhere.

I want to go back, i want to go back to the city where i grew up. I want to go back to the home where I spent all my life. I want to go back to my family. I have a strong urge to back but I have the strongest urge to go back successful.

As much as she said she understood my reasons, I know my leaving hurt my grandmother, and that kills me.

Here’s hoping one day my depression will lift. So tired all the time that i can’t have a proper conversation with wife & kids.

So depressed about my depression. Anxious about my anxiety. For 3 2 years now, i haven't have a proper rest. Felt like a burden to my family. Felt God forget about me & my prayers.
