Suicide is a big issue all ova di worl now. Places weh never touch by deze tings getting touch. I doan know if is some energy swirling out dere, or is the dependency pon technology instead of having human interactions, or folks feeling less than when dem see ppl illusionary ‘good life’ on IG and Facebook, could be a mixture of all. Instead of logging online, give someone a call. Meet up for a meal or go bowling with friends. Get off the gaming station and go volunteer. Wi need to get back to having fulfilling human connections.
The problem I’m having is meeting people who are good to me and for me.
