Today

I start a workshop next week with my local mental health advocacy group and am so looking forward to it.

Something has to change.

The conversation needs to change.  Nobody knows what another person is going through mentally at any given time, so why are we so hard on each other?

I'm thinking about my friend today, and how I can change our conversation from 'everyone else's gossip' to our personal connection, unconditional support and mutual understanding of where we fit in in this world.

Anyone opposed to that needs to shift their concerns on something else, because, well, the world needs more support and love and positivity more than anything else right now.
