Everything happens for a freaking REASON bruh

So I ended up saying why the hell not and sharing my luh YouTube videos, ya know promoting myself and shit since people act like they can’t just retweet my lil link but that’s for another day

And my aunt on my dads side sees it and ends up going through my catalog. She calls me up to express to me how my 1st cousin on my dads side, ie her daughter, went through the exact same thing I did.

I need to do better as a cousin and reach out more but y’all! We talked for a long while. It’s crazy how things happen.

We both had a hard time at school, boo majors, depression and panic attacks, hospitalized, put on meds, loves the Sims! It’s so crazy.

I said all that to say, speak your truth no matter what. Keep going in the direction you feel is right because there’s always someone that either needs to hear it or like.. they need that push too and kinda relate.

I really thought about stopping my blog and YouTube cause I mean being realistic, I don’t get the views nor the support that other people around me do, but just things like that motivate me to keep going.’

I am literally here not to take on others burdens but to be a listening ear in letting other people know it’s okay and that they’re not alone.

So many college students have come to me and told me shit about their mental health that they couldn’t even tell their friends, and that’s freaking sad.

Then again it reminds me way back when, when I did a poll on Instagram and asked people what they’d like to see and some mental health topics and people literally said no and said “mental health wasn’t their thing.” It’s never their thing till they go through it.

Definitely could’ve kept that to themselves... but anywhoo!!! Tonight was mad heavy, and this journey is mad heavy, but I’m so glad I went through what I did cause look how much has happened?!!

My family is so much more open and receptive to mental health, and now I know how to approach situations and help my friends but also keep boundaries for myself. I’ve also made friends out of my situation. That’s a beautiful ass thing.

It’s helped me figure out what I like and what my calling may be. I’m not sure where this thread went lol but yeah

I definitely wanna mix my psych major and bio minor and study the heritability of mental illness cause this is crazy!

That’s my second cousin to come out with depression and panic attacks. 3 of us in total, that I know of.

My goal is to normalize talking about mental health. Y’all don’t know how many people are walking around campus suffering in silence but took the time out to be like “hey this is weird but I trust you, what should I do?” And I love that I can be that for others.

Okay I’m going play sims
