  1. I have mental illness for over a decade now, and the past year I'm getting worse, and just this march my father died. So very rough time. But this September, a stray kitten wandered outside the gate of our home one night. I can hear her meows so I decided to check on her. She's malnourished and have some discharge on her eyes. I've decided to took her in. I fed her and have her checked to the vet. Now she's really playful and always run around the house. People think that I rescued her. But they didn't know that I've been planning on ending my life few months after I've kept her. Now that plan is at a halt. I don't know why but just her being around lift my spirits and I love her dearly. I can totally relate to the girl in the video. Thanks for this! 👍

  2. Not just for people who are rich and privileged. They are not just the only people living on this planet. Everyone has a link in the chain existence. Everyone exists for a reason every living being has a chain to the next no matter how different or similar.
