Glad I did, honestly.

I have not used Tumblr in years.
Honestly, I don’t even remember what job I was doing at the time.
I’m a kindergarten teacher now.
I love being a teacher. It makes me feel normal. It makes me feel so needed and loved.
The world could be falling apart and when I see my class of kiddos, I feel whole. I feel like I matter.
I matter to those kids. I teach those kids. I love those kids.
I am so grateful to those kids who make me matter. They give me purpose.
I think the only time I will be truly recognized, acknowledged as a person, is when I die, and then never again.
There is something that I so desperately need to tell someone. Anyone, but I have no courage to tell my friends or family.
I need help and I don’t know what to do.
I just need help.
