Half the Time.
#RG @jennewsome00: Over the course of my life, I've been hiding. Hiding what I want, what I feel, what has been done to me. After going through an extremely abusive relationship and ultimately, forced into sex, I shut down and turned away from my family and locked out my friends from what had happened. Looking at the scars and bruises from the abuse progressed from making me psycically ill to sending me into long periods of time where I could not speak or do anything but cry, then ultimately pushed me into pretending the marks were from silly accidents. I did not admit to myself until a few years later that what happened to me was wrong, and I'm still struggling with accept that I did not cause it. I refused to admit that it was what had spiked my anxiety, my depression, and my inability to make friends or process any negative event. Acknowledging what happened and realizing you need help is no cake walk. For me, that road was run by my love for dance. I joined a new competitive dance studio and found a group of amazing teachers and dancers to be the best version of myself. I realized I needed to face recovery head on, and strive to be there not only for my team, but for myself. Five years later, I am set on a path in my life at college, studying dance of course :) and would never have accomplished so much without acknowledging what needed healing. #halfthestory
#RG @jbirdsuper: "I always put people and things before I even think about myself. For the most part, it's not that bad, but I have those moments. Those moments when I'm not doing that great and want to talk about how I'm feeling, but there is this thought in my head telling me not to, because people don't want to hear that someone isn't doing good. Not only that, but I'm always constantly hard on myself especially when it comes to meeting new people, so to anyone that has meet me and hasn't really seen me as a person, I'm sorry. It's just really difficult a lot of the time, because I'm afraid I'm going to say the wrong thing, so I don't say anything. To the people who have only seen half of me, I want you to know that I am not great, depression sucks, but I'm working on it. October is mental health month to raise awareness of mental illness, which is a legitimate thing that a lot of people deal with. #halfthestory #breakthestigma"
#RG @aliciasanz_: "Today is bullying prevention day and I partnered with @halfthestory to continue to raise awareness on this issue. As most of you know I play Alexa Medina in Netflix's #RealityHigh - a famous YouTuber and the most popular (yet, mean) girl in high school. Her bright side of being a celebrity on social media is just #halfthestory. She feels miserable, empty and that’s why she bullies Dani. She humiliated and embarrassed her and her whole school made fun of her. What if that was you? How would you feel? Guys, this is not ok. It is not ok to hide behind a screen to hurt someone, it doesn't just stay on-screen, it has real live actions and consequences. Cyberbullying is a real issue and we have to end this. Let’s choose kindness. Let's choose compassion. Let's choose to connect with people, rather than putting others down. For me, Alicia, instagram is also just #halfthestory. I struggle with rejection almost every week. Being an actress from Spain living in LA is not easy. Not when your family is so many miles away. But, you don't see my sweat and tears on here. You don't see how this city challenges me and makes me grow. I have fallen many times. But that made me who I am today. A strong, hard worker, independent woman - a side of me that I am starting to show more of, but it's taken a while to get there. What’s your #halfthestory?"
#RG @gracevanderwaal: "Tomorrow kicks off mental health awareness week, and I’m proud to be a part of my friend Larz’s @HalfTheStory project. I met @livinlikelarz when she produced my music video for my song Moonlight. I wrote that song about one of my friends who was struggling with depression. It’s about remembering when only a short time before, everything was perfect and we were dancing in the moonlight. It taught me how important it is to share my personal stories to let people know who have had similar experiences know that they’re not alone - without being cliche and having to outright say you’re not alone, but doing that through my songs instead. I’m still growing and learning, but through this all I’ve stuck to the same morals that it’s so important to stay true to yourself and remember to always do what makes you happy, no matter what anyone else thinks. #HalfTheStory (at Tictail)
