Welcome to Serenity: A Journey from Isolation to Connection
Hello, I'm Daniel, the creator of TalkWithSerenity.com. My goal with this platform is to provide a solution to loneliness—a feeling that's a significant part of the human condition.
Over the past eight years, I've experienced major setbacks. Much of this time was spent in some of the lowest places imaginable: jail cells, homeless shelters, camping tents on the street, psych wards, probation, and court-mandated therapy. Despite making a comeback, finding a job, getting off the streets, and reintegrating into society, a part of my soul was still lingering behind, starving for connection.
Ironically, I found more connection with others while I was in the depths of hell than I did at the top, making over $200k as a software engineer in corporate America. Surrounded by "healthy," "normal," "functioning" adults in the workplace, I felt even more isolated. The difference was that these people were better at coping "privately" with their struggles, and were rewarded rather than punished by society.
Those at the bottom understand what it feels like to be rejected by everyone around them, including family, during the most crucial moments when love and understanding are critical to reducing long-term life consequences. We're told to go to therapy, yet many can't afford it, and it often doesn't yield the effects we need. We're prescribed medications, yet the side effects are unmanageable, or we need another medication to cope with them. We're told to think, look, and act differently. We're encouraged to share our stories and inspire others.
Today, I'm here to dedicate my future to providing a shelter and space for supporting others who just need a place to come when they feel they have nowhere else to belong. We are not just another AI therapist. The only reason we have an AI facilitator is to provide this service 24/7, regardless of age, sex, location, ethnicity, or identification. We had to remove the human to remove the bias. We had to remove the human to remove the problem. We had to remove the human to create the space for others to see the light. We had to remove the problem, to start and create a space for the solution.
Welcome to Serenity. Come, sit all the way down, and stay a while.
