Hi! My name is Zu and I have an important story to tell. I have a friend called Kat and he is an absolute hot head. His ego is sky high and his pride higher.

We would do everything together, go running through the woods, fishing at the stream...

I'm Sooo Happy!

By A Friend on October 17, 2018 / 2,856 views

I haven't been this genuinely happy since I was 9 years old, and I'm 23 now. This is not a joke or an exaggeration, throughout all that time between then and now I've been depressed. I recently stopped going to therapy because I don't feel like I need help anymore. And I'm finally on medication that works for me. Every little achievement brings me joy because I'm finally not miserable....

By A Friend on October 15, 2018 / 2,882 views

A friend and I did a drive to collect costumes for the kids at the domestic violence shelter. We were camped out in front of Walmart and we'd ask people to grab a costume while they were inside and this was pretty effective. About halfway through our day, a van stopped in front of our table and a woman got out. She said she used to own a costume shop and slid open the van door. I'll never...

As a stay-at-home mom of three boys, I often have a hard time feeling like I am capable of having a meaningful impact outside of my family. So today I finally did something I knew I COULD do. I have taken my kids out for walks in the stroller many times, and the trash on the sidewalk and streets always catches my attention. This afternoon I did something about it. I tied a...
