@Iamivy05 I do not feel bad at all. These people inflict severe trauma onto others and refuse to heal or get help the majority of time. It’s just as painful for the people that have to endure them as it is to live with their dysfunction inside their own minds. They are not helpless.
a hardest pill to swallow is that people will hurt you. dehumanize you in so many ways and not feel badly about it. they won’t feel a thing actually. they’ll move on with their day, their week, their life, happy as ever but there you are, crushed. loss of appetite. loss of sleep.
THIS WAS MY FLIGHT YESTERDAY…..
I NEVER miss flights. But yesterday I did.
One of the emergency exits got BLOWN OFF MID FLIGHT. And the two seats next to the exit got sucked off the plane.
ONE OF THOSE SEATS WERE MINE.
Missing my flight yesterday saved my life

Met someone that inspired me a few days ago & just thought to share. On the ferry from Banjul to Barra, we were standing in the shade and I was with a couple from Germany. The husband strikes a conversation in English with a boy who looked about 17/18
My friend.
He went from joggling 3 jobs & earning 400,000 naira at the start of the year to working with google, earning around $100k, leaving the country, entered into a stable relationship & now founded his startup.
When I was in high school I constantly worried my teachers would find out about the addictions in my household.
That meant, under no circumstance, could school call home. No teacher, no secretary, no principal, no one.
So I played the game of school. And I played it well. Peer Helper, straight A’s, sports teams, etc. I did whatever I could to avoid school - home communication.
Students like me are always in survival mode. I was afraid. Addiction left me feeling abandoned for as long as I can remember. It forced me to grow up fast.
Thank goodness I learned to work the “exam” system because I rarely studied. There just wasn’t enough time. Survival thinking made me a good problem solver (hence my Computer Science, I guess).
So, wherever you are on the grades debate, know that I used them as a survival strategy to limit parent-teacher interactions.

Hey @SlackHQ can we please introduce a ‘Community Plan’. I don’t think we can afford $140k for the @relume_io Slack Community.
Or do I just make the switch to @discord?
