some thoughts on world mental health day : crying on a doorstep

the thing that you are feeling that makes you feel like you do not belong here is absolutely the thing that we all share, the human condition is universal and painful. being alive is painful, and it misses no one.

i share my life like this with you so we can maybe see that we all feel we are not meant to be here, the thing that makes us feel so alone is the very thing that proves we are not.

it’s in the being vulnerable that we realize there was nothing to be afraid of, anyway. it’s on the other side of the judgment of yourself and your pain, where the healing begins. we mourn. we collapse. we repair. we go back out into the world for more adventures. there is space for you here, you are wanted here. 🫀
