Not Coping

Hey everyone how are you all?

@RiverSeal @Shaz51 @NatureLover @tyme @Former-Member @Eve7 @Former-Member @amber22 @Jynx @FloatingFeather

I'm not doing great at all today. I'm feeling down. I also keep beating myself up for everything and feel like I'm just failing. I need a break from everything. It's getting so hard that I don't know how to keep going anymore especially since I can't talk to anyone around me as they are leaving me or don't understand.

Hope you don’t mind me reaching out I just really need a chat and though I could come on here and vent and talk for a bit.

Thank you

Night times can be so hard... @Birdofparadise8

I used to do candle gazing while sitting on the floor before bed when I was a uni student...

Re: Tw Not Coping

I can't have a candle in my room @Kyle1. Uni accommodation rules. I would love too.

In an interview David explained the meaning: "With my song “Daylight,” I aim to convey the paradoxical desire for something that is simultaneously harmful to oneself, using elements of light and darkness. The lyrics, “Oh, I love it and I hate it at the same time/You and I drink the poison from the same vine,” encapsulate this concept." Also, the story is based on biblical references that inspired Kushner as a child: "I would want to do things that would lead to darkness but also want to be in the light. Those are real things. We all go through darkness and we all have brighter moments, too. [This song] speaks from my own life experiences. To me, it’s a realization of my own desires and the complexity of those desires. The desire for light, but always running towards the darkness instead of light."
