Basics.

  This will be a series of pieces so I label this I. Don’t get me wrong, I love that mental health is such a thing now and that there are more conversations about it and a resulting awareness and that is just beautiful to speak the least. More people are seeing therapists(at least around my circles) and we can now joke about things we couldn’t before. And that’s good and I understand that it will take time for society to fully assimilate these learnings, but about certain topics, I feel like they start on the wrong end. Think of me as someone unqualified sharing my thoughts on how I think we should approach these conversations more effectively, a little similar to your boyfriend shouting instructions and suggestions during a football match, despite having little understanding of the game's dynamics. Pushing the hedonistic agenda when you are someone that struggles with self-harm is especially paradoxical, but what can I say, Moses saw the promised land he was never going to reach.
