I spent 14 years perfecting the craft of illusion, putting on a
front so that nobody could see what was bothering me.
A poker face. I chased people away until there was no one
left but my worst enemy, myself. Before this project, I finally
admitted that I was depressed. I wish I could say it was liberating
but it just felt like I was on the beginning of another journey.
Art has helped me process my feelings so I can start that dialogue
even though I don’t want to. This past year and a half has been
brutal and I reached an all time low. I will continue to fight. I
encourage everyone else in my position to do the same.
Is there a big mental health problem in our country? Absolutely.
A lack of providers are only part of the problem. As a society, we
need to remove the stigma against asking for help. Tell at least one
person what is going on in your head. If I could travel back in time
and talk to my 21 year old self, I would tell him that he isn’t alone.
Remember, happiness is the goal. Happiness is Love and Love
is the meaning of life.
