I love enjoying the light with the amazing people of this subreddit. I talk a lot about mental health. I am constantly telling others to reach out when they find themselves in the dark because I truly believe people need other people.

So here I am. Although I talk a big game, I have a hard time reaching out. I hide inside of my head alone. Rarely, I'll connect with someone and become comfortable enough to let my guard down. Sometimes, like this time, it's a big mistake.. and I'm left feeling hollow, small and insignificant.

This is a hard post to make. I like to pretend I don't have my own demons to face but that simply isn't true. The highlight of my day today was opening my mailbox to find a few cards waiting for me. I'm asking for more of this right now.

If you're reading this and are struggling too, please reach out. To me, to anyone. You are worth it.
