Many of you seem to be unhappy.

We don't all necessarily want you to be happy, but acceptance and adaptation to your situation would be a start. The only question that remains is: how?

It is clear to us that your species resolves many issues through communication. Unfortunately, none of us understand the human psyche as clearly as others of your species, and so I leave it to you to communicate with and to help one another.

You may consider this post an open forum in which you can discuss what's been bothering you. In turn, I will conceal your identities, so that you may help one another without preconceived biases. If you'd like to reveal yourselves to one another, the option is there, but unnecessary.

Heal. Recover.

I'll leave you to it.

on good days. but there's always that fear. sometimes i feel like where i came from and who i was is always breathing on the back on my neck. it makes my skin crawl.

That's eerily relatable.

You don't have to answer, but this is anonymous, so - what are you trying to get away from?

my father. my mother too, but him especially. the desperation that i felt in his presence, the things that desperation made me do.

what about you?

I grew up poor. My father was violent. I feel like people can still see both of those things on me if they look hard enough. Like I'll never really get away from them.

I'm sorry about your father.

i'm sure you've probably heard this before, but neither of those things is your fault.

i'm sorry about yours too.

It does help to hear, because even now sometimes I have a hard time believing it.

Were you able to get away from that when you were at home? Or was it only when you got here?

[anon]

[benumbing]

no. believe it or not, i'm grateful to this place. it's given me more of a home than i ever had there.

It's good that it's been something positive for someone. I guess it's kind of a fresh start, especially if no one you know is here.
