20 Hours of Silence for Youth Mental Health.
I have been through a lot in the past 4/5 years and even a lot before that. And I'm sure I'll go through a lot more in the years to come.Always trying to grow and learn. About the world. About myself. About others.
I feel like I can relate to a lot of people and I always try to see things from other people's perspectives because I believe that is important. And I believe empathy is the key to battling mental health and helping others climb out of those low points without allowing the snow to avalanche or the whirlpools to swallow.
I'm doing this for self discovery.
As I've finally learned what it means to truly protect your peace.
I worried about being selfish and was concerned that focusing on myself would make me ignorant.
And mean I was becoming part of the problem.
But now I know that if you don't put yourself first, nobody else will. And if I'm not at my best, I can't be my best for someone else.
And that's the kind of person I want to be. Someone reliable and dependable.
I'm not afraid to be alone.
I've always been introspective.
I spend a lot of time in my own busy head.
And I think it can be a scary place to be for a lot of people.
But the longer you spend there, the safer it starts to feel.
I think it's something more people could stand to do and feel like it should be encouraged.
So yeah, I'm super excited to participate in this!!
