The semi colon

With everything I have been through lately this speaks to my heart: A semicolon is used where a sentence could have stopped, but didn't. With that being said this tattoo (especially on a wrist, is used by survivors) A semicolon tattoo means she's a survivor of self harm/anxiety/depression and things of that sorts.

I've spent a lot of time at home alone, thinking and thinking and thinking about my situation.  The more I think about it the further down this deep dark hole I've fallen.  I feel like a failure at life because of my sicknesses.  I feel guilty for my husband having to do more.  I feel like a loser for sitting here all day doing practically nothing because I don't feel good.  I shun the sun.  The most I go outside is to either drop off or pick up ...
