Abstract

To tell someone your reality, to tell someone the truth, it is very hard if you don't have any acceptance, if there is nobody else that believes you, that accepts you, there is nothing that you can do. Like speaking on air, no-one will reply to you like that. Your suffering, your pain, no-one will understand you.
