Book Excerpt
A month ago, my girlfriend of over three years left me, and it’s been tearing me apart. She was
the one part of my life that still felt stable. I thought she was going to be my friend for the rest
of my life.
Sometimes things seem to get better, but then they get worse. I’m just so exhausted
from the cycle of loving and losing.
FROM LITTLE WHITE DOVE
I know exactly what you mean. My mother X’d my boyfriend and I didn’t do anything to deserve
it. Life can be so unfair. But I find comfort in scriptures like Proverbs 3: “Trust in the Lord with
all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.”

FROM LEFT BEHIND
I can’t remember myself ever having much energy. I have never really wanted to live and have
always struggled to cope with life. Life is mostly just meaningless suffering. It is a pointless
experience that we go through for the sake of it.
FROM LITTLE WHITE DOVE
I feel that way too sometimes. Sadness just drains all the energy out of you. Please know that
there are others like me on this site who understand and sympathize. Tell us about your
suffering. Where does it come from?
