Ok so, this is very different to what I usually post. It is also, hand down, the hardest post I have ever written. But, there is no point in keeping this to myself. No achievement unlocked by suffering in silence. No medal for pretending everything is A-OK.

I also know that there are so many people out there struggling with this seemingly invisible disease. The more we all share, the more we open up, the better for everyone. This world can be a crazy, fast-paced, judgemental, and sometimes just plain unfair world, but every one of us has value. Each and everyone has the right to contribute our part. To contribute our verse, to borrow from the movie Dead Poets Society. We should never forget that.

I write about mental health, addiction, sober living, living your best life through an active lifestyle and a whole food plant-based diet. Psychedelic curios :)
