We are all a little broken. But last time I checked, broken crayons still colour the same. 🖍️

Individuals with mental health issues are much more likely to be the victims of violence than the perpetrators.

"When someone spews something really hurtful, don’t pick it up and hold it and rub it into your heart and snuggle with it and carry it around for a long time. Don’t even put energy into kicking it to the curb. You gotta see it and step over it or go around it and keep on going." — Brené Brown
