As part of the @okaymovement by @peersway I’m sharing my journey with mental wellness. For a long time, I never thought I was enough. I listened to my depression and believed I needed leadership, or a mentor to be my hero and to gain their approval. This led me to think that I needed someone else or something else to be happy. One day I decided to stop waiting to hear praise, and decided to be own hero. Every single day I said the things I wanted others to say. “You’re so pretty! You are so skilled and knowledgable!” Until I finally believed it. I still struggle from time to time with my depression, but now I only surround myself with others who are their own heros who don’t flex their influence, but want to be on the same super hero team. After all, Real Queens fix each other’s crowns. 👸🏻 Join the #OkayChallenge #TalkToday #okaymovement share your story! #mentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessweek #mentalhealthawarenessday #arealqueen (at Toronto, Ontario) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3bIhgUB4ye/?igshid=1rz0vz05dh4l0
