All she ever wanted was a place to call her home

Trigger warning: self-harm, suicide

All she ever wanted was a place to call her home.

A safe space to thrive.
To not be treated like a second class citizen.

She wanted to be free from constantly being told who she should be.

To shatter the glass ceiling

To break the bias

To breathe.

She got a beautiful smile you know 😃

One that could light up the world 💡

📌 All she ever wanted was to be somebody before being someone else’s.

Is it a crime to ask for the barest minimum😢

Is it?

Unfortunately,

🌹 She was destroyed by death that was avoidable…

Silence,
Pain behind smiles,
Tears behind laughter,
Mental torture,
Emotional abuse,
Demons in human form,
Fear…

The society had a role to play in this…

This is Awa’s story, who’s next…

PS: It’s mental health awareness month.

📌 You may not be able to change the society but you can protect yourself.
📌 Mental and Emotional health issues can eat deeper than you think.
📌 Many people are covering a lot behind their smiles.
📌 Reach out.
