The darkness that’s needed to see the stars

Why is mental health important to me? Because I believe our greatest wounds can be our greatest superpowers. There might be fear, sadness, anxiety and certainly stigma, but from that comes creativity and this is our gift to the world. Just take a look at Picasso, Van Gogh, Salvador Dali, Chris Cornell, Kurt Cobain- absolute gifts to the world. De-stigmatize mental health issues to keep people alive so they can continue to share their wounds, their vulnerability - their superpowers with the world.
