For the longest time, mental health wasn’t something I thought about deeply. Like many of us, I grew up hearing phrases like "It’s all in your head, "Just be strong," or "Others have it worse." But the more I learned, the more I realized how important it is to acknowledge, understand, and talk about mental health—just like we do with physical health.
We often check on people when they’re physically unwell, but how often do we ask, "How are you feeling?" Mental health struggles don’t always show up on the surface, and that’s why awareness matters. There are people around us—friends, family, colleagues—who might be fighting silent battles, and just knowing that someone understands can make a huge difference.
I want to create awareness about mental health, not just as a concept, but as something that impacts every single one of us. It’s okay to seek help. It’s okay to not have everything figured out. But what’s not okay is suffering in silence because of stigma or lack of support.
So, if you’re reading this, I hope you take a moment today to check in on yourself and those around you. Let’s normalize talking about mental health, seeking help when needed, and supporting each other without judgment.
