    When Living Feels Too Heavy to Bear

    Лучшая цитата из When Living Feels Too Heavy to Bear

    “

    Feeling tired of living is often not a desire to die, but a response to feeling trapped in circumstances that seem unchangeable; it's less about wanting to cease to exist and more about not wanting to live like this anymore.
