" What does depression feel like", I sighed,
" It feels like a thousand tiny knives stabbing me continuously until I became numb to the pain" a blunt reply always works best in situations like these.
"I'm sorry baby"
" Stop saying that!! Stop saying those words as if they make it better! They don't! You know nothing! You have me up!" I yelled as the tears freely fell from my eyes

Walking into an empty house is normal to me. I guess I got tired of saying 'I'm home' when nobody is home to reply. It wasn't always like this. I remember when our family was close. Now we don't see each other any more. We don't talk to each other. We don't eat with each other. We don't ACKNOWLEDGE each other. This all happened after my 'Mother' killed herself. My father blames me. This is my story about how I learned to not count on anyone else but myself. I'm broken. I'm used. No one can fix me. But when the New Boy in town tries to fix me, everything will change. Good change or Bad change, I don't know. Only time will tell.

Echoes of Silence - Daughter of Elizabeth Olsen ✔️
[COMPLETE] Echoes of Silence tells the heartbreaking and hopeful story of Elizabeth and Olive, a mother and daughter separated by tragedy and longing to find each other again. Elizabeth, at almost 20, gives birth to Olive in 2009 under devastating circumstances. Olive is the result of violence, and while Elizabeth loves her more than anything, the trauma and fear of being a young, unprepared mother lead her to give Olive up for adoption. She convinces herself it's the best decision, but the weight of that choice never leaves her. Fifteen years later, Elizabeth is married to Robbie, who supports her through everything, but the ache of not knowing what happened to Olive eats away at her. She decides to search for her daughter, no matter the cost. Meanwhile, Olive has grown up in the foster care system, shuffled between homes that were supposed to protect her but often did the opposite. She's been hurt, silenced, and left feeling like she's nothing but a problem nobody wants. Olive doesn't speak anymore-it's her way of keeping the world out, of staying safe. She pours everything into her art and her diary, writing letters to a mother she barely remembers but can't forget. Elizabeth's search is heartbreaking, full of dead ends and moments where she almost gives up. When she learns about Olive's painful past, her guilt becomes unbearable, but it also fuels her determination. Olive, on the other hand, is unsure if she even wants to be found. The silence she's lived in for years feels safer than letting someone in. As their stories move closer together, Echoes of Silence becomes a raw, emotional journey about love, loss, and the hope of being seen and heard-even in the darkest moments. Will they find each other, or will the silence keep them apart forever?Complete

Just Grey: In a Black & White World
"But just look at the world around you, Love. There's messes everywhere with unclear answers. Don't give up yet." She told me gently. "I know, but I just wish that this was less confusing." "Well, things are gonna get confusing after a while, but you can't just stop trying. You've got to search harder for the answer; maybe it's somewhere you haven't looked yet. Someday you'll trip over a rock that's harder than this, and bandaids won't just stare you in the face. You won't know what to do. So prepare yourself for that day, baby." "I'm gonna trip over a rock?" I asked, eyes widening with worry. She shook her head, the bubbly symphony of her laughs echoing in the room. "No. I mean you're going to be in trouble one day and you won't know how to get out of it. Like this, but tougher." "You mean I'll have to go through this again? But even harder? Ugh, I won't make it." I sighed heavily. "No. I know you will. It just won't be so black and white. It'll be....in between the two." "So it'll be just grey?"
