Couldn't have said it any better, that's indeed a wise little voice you hear.
I hope your friend isn't suffering too terribly anymore. that sounds like a very difficult struggle for him.Don't worry about him, he's a tough cookie. He just hates it when people don't understand what he avoids talking about, and expect of him to be leading a normal life , that's why I tease him with the question. 😁
I'm sorry for tagging you to such a depressing subject. hahaha
You wouldn't be a person I'd ever want to see depressed. Always cheerful and uplifting to all those around you!
Just stay wonderful as you are, and keep listening to that little voice. ❤
