Life is tough. It leaves us feeling confused, overwhelmed
and alone. The feelings and the emotions that we’d want to
express to those around us, often remain unspoken.
But, sharing one’s feelings, as tough as it can be, does help.
All the quotes that you have read in this book are the real
words of people who have been fighting life’s everyday
challenges.
And by having an open and honest dialogue with those who
have wanted to listen and support, things have gotten better.
So, if you have related to some of the feelings and emotions
in this book or are feeling like you need to talk,
please remember you are not alone.
We are here to listen to you.
