let's raise awareness.
since this is world mental health day (!!!), i want to share /um/ more like rant? but yeah, this thing had been all over my chest and i just wanna share it somewhere. ppl nowadays (esp. my surroundings /like school, family/ never know anything such as mental health 'awareness' and since i am an overly introverted person i can't just tell them abt what it is and its really fricking bothering me. so.. according to what i said above, there is a boy //lets just pretend his name is Oliver (idk it just came outta nowhere lmao)// and he obviously has this mental illness and EVERYONE just treat him like a piece of shit and i WISH i can help him but, yeah i am no other different than a piece of shit too (i have a prob w communicate w boys etcetc im 'overly introverted' you know). but since he has this illness, he can't do anything about it, even teachers, the seniors, the juniors, his classmates. they love to make fun even torturing him and he can't do anything about it. the girls in my class also likes to tell him to fight back. they were like "OLIVER YOURE A BOY" "YEAH YOURE SUPPOSED TO BE MANLY" "ARE YOU EVEN A BOY OR SHOULD WE CHECK?" "WEAR SKIRT TOMORROW" etc etc, and i didnt think that that was even the right thing?? in my personal opinion, each person is different. we can't force them to be what they're supposed to at every situation. THEY HAVE TO FACE THEIR PROBLEMS WITH THEIR WAY. DON'T FORCE THEM LIKE THE NORMAL PPL THINGS WOULD DO. BUT TREAT THEM LIKE YOUR REGULAR FRIENDS SO THEY DONT FEEL DIFFERENT AND SEPERATE THEMSELVES FROM ANOTHER. and the most important thing that i have to tell myself too: HELP THEM, LISTEN TO THEM, AND BE GOOD TO EVERYONE BECAUSE YOU! DON'T! KNOW! WHAT! EVERYBODY! WAS! GOING! THROUGH! IN! THEIR! LIVES!! lastly, i want to give my big appreciate to everyone who still have their smiles through the days even when they struggling with mental problems, to everyone who still breathing till this day with heavy chest. to everyone who still trying, give life a second chance, still have patience. just remember that there are still many people who supports you, who loves you just the way you are. you don't have to be perfect, you don't have to keep smiling everyday, just be what yourself wants you to be. this world loves you. 23:04, oct 11 💜 a!
