I'd Like To Be Happy

Welcome back to The Nuance Diaries!Unfiltered alchemy from your most unhinged group chat.This is where I share my unfiltered take on my life and the world around me. Consider my vulnerability a permission slip for yours.TW: direct reference to self-harm, suicidal ideation, and suicide. Take care of yourself if you know that those topics will be triggering for you, and scroll to the bottom for some lighter recent pieces.It doesn’t get any easier. to be vulnerable about this kind of pain.It doesn’t get any easier to deal with this kind of pain. This excruciating business of being alive.And yet, what I want most in this world is to help people feel less alone.I sometimes forget that the first step to doing that is often admitting when I myself need help to feel less alone.And more often than not, the act of helping others feel less alone is a bid for connection.God knows we could all use more real, true connection.*PS The title of this post is not the finalized title of this song, it’s just what I chose in this moment!
