When You’ve Lived my Life You Can Judge Me
Please don’t judge people. You don’t know what it took someone to get out of bed, look and feel presentable as possible and face the day. You never truly know the daily struggles of others.
Ten Thousand Words
Ten Thousand Words – The song is mellow and gives off a comforting vibe. It keeps me coming back, reminiscing, and piecing together so many of the unanswered questions that come with suicide and addiction.
