Hey there Just wanted to let you know another human cares and is proud of you for how hard you tried. Addiction is so hard. Please seek someone to talk about this with so that you aren't carrying this guilt forever. Your life is important and has value and I'm sure the person you cared about would want to see you thriving not hurting. Just. Your life and efforts matter and its okay for you to work on being okay and for it to hurt and not be easy so . don't give up and know that I heard you. I see you. I'm here. Reach out if you need etc.

I love how people think it's something you can fix or will get better. It's not. The world we live in is a vile and corrupted place. Look how many young people turn to addiction and suicide because they have simply have no hope. It's sickening beyond the power of words to describe.

It really is. I wish there were some way to get the entire world on board with caring for one another more and taking the time to understand one another's struggles. Nobody is an island and nobody should feel that way be it by access to care, ousting by society, poverty, mental health issues etc.

It's a deeply ingrained societal and cultural issue that isnt repairable. Western "ideals" and "morality" have corrupted and ruined most of the world.

I wouldn't blame only western ideals, the root of it all is greed and hunger for power, it exists all over the world.
