    Biography



    Before meeting Olek... Tea was homeless and depressed, regularly self harming. He had no reason to live. Eventually, he ended up in a long term mental health facility for a few years where he was abused, both physically and emotionally. Obviously this did nothing to help his depression, and instead gave him a new problem: anxiety. Tea became scared and anxious around others, and knew he had to get out soon. He acted like he was all better until they discharged him finally! Now back to living on the streets, with even more issues than before, Tea decided it was time to end it all. Fortunately for him, he met Olek before he got the chance. Olek was kind and listened to him. Nobody's ever done that before! Tea quickly took a liking to Olek, and they became close friends.

    It didn't take long for Olek to invite Tea to live with him! With a new best friend and a place to call home, Tea was feeling less depressed. However, that anxiety never really went away, especially when it came to crowds or new animals. He spent as much time as possible in his new home with Olek! He felt safe and loved. However, soon Tea realized that Olek had problems of his own. His new friend and roommate started hurting him. Whenever Olek gets upset, he turns to Tea and essentially uses him as a punching bag. Olek beats him regularly now. Tea is used to it. He does not fight back. He knows he deserves to be hurt. Plus, this helps his friend feel better. Tea loves Olek and just wants him to be happy, even if it means pain for himself. Of course, most of the time Olek is friendly and kind. The two friends spend a lot of time together, mostly doing whatever Olek wants. Olek even treats Tea's injuries after he's been hurt. Tea wants to spend the rest of his life with Olek, no matter what. He loves his best friend so much.
