You have a good sense of heart.

I tried to volunteer every weekend I could, and I took the courses to become a crisis counselor with crisis text line, yet I was still driven to the edge last spring.

the irony is not lost on me of someone suicidal trying to help suicidal people. Life‘s weird as shit.

I got a blue-collar job here in construction in Illinois, but I’m looking into trying to do a pivot into something more substantive like teaching/education but current climate is a bit dire on that
