The GothKnight Speaks
I’m not a professional, I don’t know the textbooks. I know terms, the theories, and the “correct” ways to cope because I have been there and again I am not a doctor…
I am not just a guide. I am also a traveler in this same darkness.
I know the weight. I know the static. I know what it’s like when your own mind feels like a hostile place.

Life is unfair… It is… Who am I to complain… I eat 3 times a day, sometimes more… I have a good job… cool kids and a beautiful wife… Some others have more… a bigger house, a luxury car, tons of money and jobs that pay 100x than mine… And some… sleep in the street… can’t afford to eat more than once in a day… work…
