I have found such amazing people on social media.
They may not know it but they have kept me alive. When everyone else had knives in their hands, stepped over my exhausted body lying in the street, pushed past me to get what they want before I could see the thing because I wasn’t looking to get anything, they were steady like rocks that hold the water in the lake.
I want to start a list so I’m going to add them here. For when you just can’t stand to take another step, when you can’t bear to look another person in the eye, when you are all alone in this world and no one gives a fucking shit, this list might just help you through. They hold histories of resilience, of abiding hope and love, of barely stopping at the brink and managing to claw your way back to standing up and helping others as they catapult toward that edge. The held me together when it felt like every molecule of me wanted to split apart and dissolve into the atmosphere never to remember itself again. I’m just starting this list but I’m going to publish it unfinished and edit from time to time.
