My parents never gave me siblings, however, that does not mean that I grew up in a lonely house, that I celebrated my birthdays with no laughs around me, and that I never had somebody to listen to my dreams, my sorrows, and my yearnings.
Destiny itself decided to never give me a sister—well, a biological sister to be more specific. But as I grew up in my grandma’s big house, where there were more rooms than people living in it, I shared it the space with another person, my cousin, whose name it is too terribly complicated to write onto paper.

In addition, I have seen the tutor that SSSP hires, and I have found her quite useful as well.
For personal support, I have counselors and I know that if anything is ever troubling me, I can go to the Mailbox building, which used to be the building where the mail first arrived, and have a session with the therapist. In addition, I have a close friend, who does not judge and is there to listen to anything that is in my mind, regardless of how idiotic sometimes it can
