Some days life just be lifing.
Scream It Into the Void
You centered it. You pulled it. Best wall you have ever had. Then it got weird, wobbled, and folded over on itself. Or you hand-built something beautiful and it cracked in the bisque. Or it made it through the bisque and came out the color of an aged bruise. Six weeks of work, one firing, and it’s gone.
Or maybe some days it has nothing to do with clay at all. Some days it was the drive over. Some days it was the phone call you took in the parking lot, and you walked into class anyway, because where else were you going to go? Other days it’s just… Life being life. Put it all right here in the box. Pick how you want to let it go. Then hold the button down.
Nothing you write is saved. Nothing is sent. Nobody reads it but you.
Pick how you let it go
Hold it down for about a second. Escape wipes the box if somebody walks up.
Gone.
Nothing saved it. Nothing sent it. Nobody read it. What came apart up there was dust on a piece of glass.
Feels stupid. Works anyway.
There is no wrong thing to put in that box.
I have personally used this page at times when I really needed it, and it does exactly what it says. It gets the ugly thing out of my chest and out of my hands and it costs nothing. It’ll do the same for you. It also has no way to call you back and check back in with you.
If what you typed in there was bigger than what pounding a keyboard can give you, tell a person. I promise, it’ll help.
So, if it is the kind of night where you need somebody right now and there is nobody, 988 is the crisis line. Call it or text it. It answers all day and all night.
