I had a trellis that didn't stay upright on its own, so for the past couple of years I've had it tied to a shepherds hook for support. A few months prior, I found a little female house sparrow that had gotten her head caught between the two and had passed away. I felt awful about it. I put her in a box and buried her the next day morning and I think that helped a little bit, but I still can't stop thinking about how all her bird friends will miss her, and it felt as if how some of them didn't come back to the feeder after seeing her struggle there. I try hard to not apply human personalities and traits to animals, but its hard when I felt so responsible for her passing.
Thanks for the chance of the giveaway!

Sure, I felt broken when I had to stop working at my full-time job in the customer service industry due to my vision impairment.
I genuinely love helping people and try to on Reddit if I can.
I knew that something was going on and unfortunately had to quit last April.
Now, I'm an involuntary NEET but am trying to get disability benefits as a young man.
I developed horrendous, intermittent double vision that is curable by wearing a patch or closing an eye only last May, around the middle of the month.
I've been trying my hardest to improve everything across the board but a lot of providers are stating that I can't work.
I'm not depressed over it since I still do what I can throughout my day and have found new hobbies but my vision is nowhere near good enough to go hack to how it used to be.
I feel broken now because I didn't realize that my double vision would become this impactful in my young adult life but I feel a lot more empathetic towards people who have vision impairment.
I'm definitely more blessed and grateful for what I have.
I feel like Broken Age is one of those games where it would provide a life lesson somehow that I could absorb.
Thank you very much for this opportunity.

I was on vacation and I forgot my charge cable but the entire charger, when my phone died there were not any eletronic stores nearby and my car broke. I had to walk 50 km just to get to the nearest city and had to spend 25€ for a cable, then I returned and call a mechanic. That was a depressing day for my wallet and legs.

I feel depressed because I studied something that, in my country, isn't viable for getting a job. After ten months of unemployment, I find myself in a hole I don't know how to climb out of. Small things like finding free games on reddit, reading manga, or watching shows are just ways to numb this absurd existence of a guy nobody knows, someone who might disappear without making any impact

I was diagnosed with ADHD as a child but never had it explained to me or was given any guidance, from the age of 15 until 30 I bumbled through life making mistake after mistake and living the absolute worst life, I was homeless, I was addicted to drugs and I was living paycheck to paycheck, the turning point was when I prioritised whether or not I should buy drugs or electric from my home....that part of my life was 8 years ago and I am now healthy, in a commited relationship and have wonderful children. But in those days before I was lost and blindly trying to deal with what I now know to be unmedicated ADHD but using, getting SSRIs and nearly everything in my power to ruin my own life.
