As part of my job working in a library I make displays. This week I am exercising my emotional masochism again and making a display for White Ribbon Day.

It has been emotionally draining but the response has surprised me.
Some kids decided to help with it, one of the teachers notified me of some young girls who have been using culture as an excuse for being violent and thanked me for the messages I have put up, and another teacher told me her story of being beaten by her husband and is getting some girls together to do a fundraiser and events.

I was just making a display because one needed to be done and this was a good cause. It seems like it is going to become a whole lot bigger

Things to keep in mind when interacting with me:
1. Do not try to medicate me. I am not on medication for a very good reason.
2. I don't do hugs.
3. If I ask for help, it is because I am at the breaking point, otherwise I have a bad habit of keeping quiet. Please do not brush me off.

Thanks for this!
