Isn't it so special to have a friend? Someone you could go to with anything you feel, whatever you are thinking about, someone who'd listen to you say things that do not make sense but laud you still for who you are. To have a friend is to have a reason to fight this cruel world everyday. This is for you, my dear friend.

As a precursor to the Mental Health Awareness Month, and the fact that a lot of us hold on to hope believing that things would get better but seem to meet situations over and over that make us wonder, "why should I fight?" This episode is a sad one. T.W. suicidal ideation and depression

I ask you why. Why me? I ask you because I have to close this chapter to move forward. Closure is the only way forward right? Pain is stored in places you cannot move on from. And so to move away from pain, I have to move away from these feelings. All I want, is closure. But is it worth it? Episode 6 of Season 2 is on closure and if it helps. Secrets in the Dark is out once in two weeks, on Saturdays at 3 AM.

"How are you?", wouldn't you like to know! Episode 5 of Secrets in the Dark is an answer to someone in the past reaching out to you after all the damage that they have done to you and your life, acting nice. "I'm just fine, no thanks to you."

Isn't it a different heartbreak when you find someone who is nice, who is trying their best to have your back but you cannot accept it. Episode 4 , Season 2 Don't Leave Me Here talks about how it goes when you aren't ready for a good thing but you desperately want to hold on to it still.

Moving on from the details that rule your mind is a hard task. It hurts and it must but to remember every nitty gritty of it is a cruelty on your own mind.
