The Pages
You're not broken.
You've been surviving.
Real reflections, written from lived experience. Shared anonymously, exactly as they were lived.
Some reflections were written by the founder. Others will be shared by contributors as the platform grows.
“No one really understands how difficult something is until they're the one going through it.”
“I heard my baby boy today. He was blowing me kisses and said mama.”
“It's easier to lie and say “I'm OK” than to explain how I really feel. I'm tired of pretending.”
“I want to be left alone, but I hate solitude. What is that?”
“You can be around people and feel completely alone.”
“You can't choose how you get wounded. You can only choose how to heal.”
