20 hour challenge!
For 20 hours, I’ll be sitting in a 2×2 metre square in complete silence, no distractions, no talking, just me, my mind and a chair!
But why?
In 2025 I lost my spark, I no longer found joy in things I used to love and negative thoughts took over. I realised my mental health had drastically declined. I then suddenly lost my Mum in October and amongst the unbearable grief and heartache, it ignited something in me. Life is short and unpredictable and I had to seek support and actively pursue new skills and ways to reclaim my mental health back and find joy again.
So here I am taking on this challenge for 20Talk in hope that I will turn my silence into something meaningful! It is a reminder of how important it is to talk, to listen, and to support mental health conversations. Sitting alone with your thoughts is overwhelming, yet it’s also an incredible place for reflection, understanding and growth.
I hope to raise $1000 to support 20talk’s mission to empower young adults aged 18-30 to integrate mental health tools and skills into their lives, where no one has to sit alone with their thoughts.
