My tears making a mess of someone who was supposed to have it all together.the room. It smelled of rubbing alcohol and vomit, and I tried to shield myself from the cold with just a small sheet.

Because that's the scarier question, isn't it.Right now, a part of me is floating somewhere around the back of this room, watching this nervous kid on the podium and thinking, "Wh ...

Hey, [Music] hey, [Music] hey, [Applause] I can't count the number of times someone close to me has asked, "How are you. " And I just go, "I'm fine. " when really I'm not fine. We ask people about their mental health every single day, but it's just scripted chatter to keep our conversations warm.

Y qué mejor plataforma que para cambiar la narrativa, para darnos cuenta que realmente podemos aprender de las historias de estas personas que hoy se paran aquí. la cantidad de problemas que nos ahorraríamos, dejaríamos de tropezar con la misma piedra.Imaginemos la gran caja de herramientas que tendríamos para afrontar todas las dificultades que estamos teniendo en esta vida.
