I was 12 when I came to know depression and knowing I didn't belong in this world. I always looked for love and connection with my family, particularly with my parents. But I never found it. My parents never knew how to show closeness and intimacy. As the years went by, the distance between the unconditional love which I truly am, and the darkness of my home life, widened. In an effort to survive, I grew farther from my true self, not closer. My depression and subsequent suicidal ideation, became my life, and is still with me today.

I've been to many therapists - psychologists, psychiatrists, hypnotists, "healers" - and the original pain of separateness has never left me.

I'm constantly looking for my way back home. The only thought that gives me relief, is that of suicide. I can't imagine leaving this insane world any other way.

I believe I was 4, maybe - I was eating a banana, gained consciousness around halfway through. I noticed the texture of the thing in my mouth, got really disgusted, and gave the rest of it to my dad. I still hate bananas.

How old were you when you saw your first sunshower? (Or whatever you call the thing where its sunny and raining at the same time)

We call it the "fox is getting married to wolf's wife" directly translated, and I honestly cannot remember. I know my dad was still alive cause he's the one who told me about it, so I'm guessing about 11 oldest. Btw I also hate bananas, but I can eat them if still hard, and a bit green if I really have to.

How old were you when you first wished upon a shooting star?

Maybe around 10 or under. My parents must've rented the DVD for A Tale of Two Sisters since we were all sitting on the couch and watching it on the TV.

I can't remember all the details but it was a little traumatizing since I've never been good with horror. The soundtrack was amazing though and haunting to this day.


How old were you went you had your first unrequited love? If you had one ofc.

If we're excluding fictional characters, crushes, and life-lasting limerence, then maybe when I was around 19 or 20 years old. We became friends through an online game (and online forum based on the game). I did like one other person a couple years prior to our meeting, but the feelings weren't as intense so I consider her the first person I really fell for.

It was really bizarre how seen I felt when talking with her. But in no way did I deserve her friendship nor time of day so I always think that she would have been happier during the years we knew each other if we hadn't met.

I went through a period of watching countless YouTube videos, trying to learn how to whistle. The best I've ever managed is tuneless spittle. I can't even make a single note. I also can't do the thing where you blow over a glass bottle like a beer bottle to make a note.

How old were you when you realized that the exciting prospect of staying awake all night actually wasn't all it's cracked up to be?
Never. I suffer from a sleep disorder. To this day, I mostly sleep in the daytime.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make light of a situation like yours. It was intended to be a jab at my younger self, who thought that staying awake all night playing games was the most exciting thing anyone could think of, when now I know that staying awake all night means I can't escape my thoughts for even a moment. I'm sorry if my question seemed flippant; I didn't intend to trivialize your experience.

How old were you when you got punched in the face for the first time?
Thankfully I've never been punched in the face, as I have what most would consider a ridiculously low tolerance for pain. I wouldn't cope.

How old were you when you realized the dark power of nostalgia, that things you experienced and loved in the past are bland and empty when being revisited in the present?
