Bee is taking on the 20-hour challenge to support youth mental health and raise awareness about the importance of prevention.

The Deep Fear

Hello you,

Im writing this as I have just been accepted to participate in the 20talk 20 hours of silence for youth mental health.

I myself have been at war with my mind and soul for a long time now, we survive and we mask, we create a picture and we hide in crowds, we fake it till we make it, until we can't fake it anymore.

Alot of people don't see my struggles with mental health, and some see it too close. It is a painful burden to bear for yourself and also those closest to you.

Art has always been an outlet for me, as it is for many of us, a way to be free and express yourself in silence, out of sight and out of mind.

This year has been the hardest of my life.. And in my grief of losing my favourite person, my father, I also lost that piece of me that drives me to paint and to create my art.

The scariest part of this challenge, for me personally, is being around people I dont know, to be so vulnerable and not able to hide under my headphones or with a giant wall to paint as my shield.

So in doing this, I hope to bring some awareness for all of our mental health, and to do my small part. But I am also doing this for me, to do something out of my comfort zone and sit through the Deep Fear.

Thankyou for reading this and your support, I vow to sketch in this 20hr silence, and allow that part of me lost to come back from the dead.

Personally, I am confronted with my mental health every single day. My art was my main way of coping through the dark times, but after significantly the hardest year of my life this year, my creative energy too has been lost..

With this challenge I will have a journal and a sketchbook. I have spoken less and less about my struggles, I find hiding safer but probably not healthier. I hope my silence can help those who need help speaking up to.

To all my community who have supported me and my art over the years, if you feel called to donate for this cause, please do x
