    "no-one wants to hear you cry about the grief inside your bones" FUCK!!! at this point I couldn't hold back the tears because this is what my depression tells me every day, so much so that I believe it now

    This poem had me pouring my eyes out at three in the morning and it reminded me that recovery is good and that it doesn't mean you failed your eating disorder.

    No matter how many times I watch her perform this, I always cry! It hits home! And she does such a beautiful job!

    I love the way they had held onto every single word as if they too were reminding themselves to learn now to live again and I swear I clicked this video at the right timing because I've been feeling like trash all day and I needed all of their words.

      @@amazouzi4789 because this person is non binary. Non binarys are people who are emotionally and quite physically if you look closely, are not male or female in particular. You mention people like that with "they" or "them" since both he/she does not work in this case.
