Making good go round.
Hi there👋,
How are you doing? I hope you are easing into the new year, free of undue pressure. And if new year traditions are your thing, I hope you are keeping the hope of a new start alive. I pray that light and ease finds you in 2023.
On a personal front, I’ve been good, or as well as I can when life isn't actively trying to take me out. I've had some really great days that I'm thankful for, as well as some not-so-great ones that I accept as part of the process.
Over the last couple of months, my friends and I have been working on creating a safe space for the people struggling with mental health issues and the people who support them, a space where we can all come together to destigmatize mental health issues, help each other with navigating everyday life, adulting, friendships and generally building a life that’s compatible with our struggles-mental and physical.
Our aim is to make good go round, we believe there’s good in all of us, we believe we can do more than preach self care and self love because we cannot love ourselves out of legitimate mental health illnesses, we need people to be there for us, as we need to be for others. We believe some of us are better equipped than others and with that in mind, we’ll like to create a space where these two sets of people can meet. Healing is in community, and we plan to build a community that is safe for everyone.
My request is that you please support this community; you don't have to know what role you can play just yet, but trust that we need all hands on deck, that people come as they are, and that we can remove the stigma and hush-hush mentality that plagues mental health issues and support one another through it all, one person at a time.
How can you support you ask? Please follow and engage with us on all socials as we navigate the process of building this community. Please share this post with your friends and network.

Personally, I believe that sharing stories, both good and bad, is how we develop true connection and depth, as well as appreciate the full range of human emotions—we begin to see ourselves as similar in more ways than one, and that we are not alone in our struggles. It relieves us of unneeded shame and allows us to be free of the burden we carry. So, if you are into storytelling or you are more of a listener, this is for you. It is for all of us.
Until next post,
With all my love.
