“I believe those that have the courage to speak up, should. Those that feel confident speaking up about their story, those that can articulate it in a way that other people can understand, those that have some type of conclusion about what happened to them, should speak up, even if it’s still ongoing. People need to speak up and say: you’re not alone. ”
“Sometimes you have no idea what is coming. Somethings just happen all of a sudden. Shit happens and life is uncertain in every regard. And so I think it’s just a good reminder, to say or do the things you don’t want to regret. Even if it’s just saying I love you to someone when they walk out the door.”
“As a result of my new covid lifestyle – I just feel old. And sad. I no longer jump out of bed but just try to sleep a little more. I can’t remember the last time I felt truly excited, truly alive. I feel low energy and just do not feel like doing anything all day.“
