    I’m a blessed African American 🇺🇸 woman and I’m really missing Africa for real 😧 and I’m really knowing that the world is not helping or saving me because I’m a poor drug user and addict and 😢I don’t understand the pain and of suffering,,,because of the pain and suffering that I’ve endured all my life going through this situation throughout all of my life throughout my whole life and I’m dying realizing the pain of this situation of the drug addiction and the suffering,,,trauma and tragic loss,,, and painful depression and suffering death ☠️…..
