PERSONAL WRITTEN WORDS
Some of these stories detail my mental health struggles and how I use journeys through some difficult places to find resilience. I can only hope that these words can serve as an inspirational foundation for others.
Note: If you are experiencing suicidal thoughts, please know you are not alone. I encourage you to seek help right away by going to your nearest hospital, calling 911, or contacting resources like Crisis Services Canada.
