Who Is This!?

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. Who are we?

We’re people just like you. We’ve felt the dark side of life. We’ve felt anger, depression. discouragement, meaninglessness. We’ve had thoughts of suicide, self-loathing, and contemplated violence. We’ve felt like we were falling toward an inescapable end.

But we didn’t fall. We found ways to overcome these difficulties.

We believe you can, too.

We made this website to share that hope with you.

We’re just hoping you’ll reach out when you’re ready.

Our Blog Team

  • Homura

    Sadly not a real anime girl. Striving for peace and self-forgiveness. Formerly alt-right and lonely, now lurking healthier spaces and making better friends.

  • James

    I’m supposed to be the managing editor of this blog but I’m probably off on a fetch quest. I grew up in Middle of Nowhere, PA (Population: me), where I had no friends and no life. Later on, things got better. I’ve learned a little about hope in the face of adversity, and I love talking about philosophy and how it can help us make sense of our lives.

  • Miriam

    Growing up, I felt that I was worthless, that I wasn't "enough," and that I'd never belong. I felt so alone, so empty, and like no one understood me. I felt like there was no point to life. Now, though, I feel completely differently — about both myself and life. It wasn’t easy, but I made it through the “shadows,” and now I want to help others do the same.
