Have you ever had someone tell you not to do something, only to turn around and tell someone else to do it?
Yes. There was a time when I was younger that I was not in a good place mentally. Maybe it is just regular teenager stuff, but I thought there was something very wrong with me and wanted to talk to someone about it.
Told this to someone I trusted, and they told me it was stupid because it would place a stigma on me for the rest of my life.
Fast forward a few years, and this same person is telling someone else that if they feel like something is wrong, they should go talk to someone. No talk or stigma and no hesitation.
What I have learned from this experience is to keep my thoughts and feelings to myself against most people. There are only a few chosen people who I let my guard down for completely.
Until tomorrow…
