When Will It All End

"Beginnings are rare and fleeting. All we are left with in life is a long and unavoidable journey to the end. Describe the burdens you carry with you on this journey."

My goal was to give a snapshot of the mental health of those around me and remind everyone that they are not alone in their sadness.
