Why do they never tell us that you are poor devils like us, that your mothers are just as anxious as ours, and that we have the same fear of death” and later “how could you be my enemy”. The guilt and pain seen in this part is clear, he had just taken the life of a man and realized that they weren’t very different. Imagine the effect that would have on you if you had just done…

The same went with me once my sister convinced me that there was something haunting my toy I would believe anything that she said because I was horrified of these “possessed” toys.

I felt very proud of the progress I had made, and I felt very grateful for the support I had received from friends and family throughout my experience. I was also very excited that I would now be able to indulge in some sugar and feel confident that I would not revert back to the unhealthy amount of…

Other factors also come into play, such as one’s own personal circumstances preventing escape. Another would be the individual’s connections to not just others but with himself.
