I find them haunting, knowing how close I came to not being here. But I think it’s important for people to see that things aren’t always what they seem. You never know the silent battles people are fighting. I’m so glad I stayed. I wish I could go back and tell myself that things would get better and that I wouldn’t always feel that way. This is why days like World Mental Health Day matter. Please check in on your loved ones, including the ones who seem to be doing okay. Ask how they really are, ask twice and make time to listen. If you’re the one struggling, you don’t have to keep pretending you’re okay. There is always hope for a better day 💚
