MENTAL HEALTH
Mental Health Is On My Agenda — How About You, Young Adults?
We can make our own rituals
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I’ll rise
- Maya Angelou’s poem “And still I Rise”
Mental health is on my agenda
Maya Angelou has been with me all through my teenage years. Teaching how to be a woman between rational men. Teaching me how to be brave and strong and ‘Just Do Right’
Personally right now, I’m torn between my rational self, the doing, the change-making, and my personal emotional health
In my creative communities, we know that when you wake at 3 AM at night, you mostly have your emotional time. The veil is the thinnest. You get ‘messages’
