This is a reminder for those who think that everyone who wears their heart on their sleeves, or are just looking for attention.
It may not be healthy, but it’s their way of drawing attention to their struggle that they need help with.
How we respond either enables the unhealthy expression, diminishes their efforts to be heard, or uplifts them through creating understanding about how they may be able to rise above it.
Death by suicide is avoidable, and so is depression.
Both just need a small dose of kindness and understanding.
Don’t go venting at strangers.
If you need to vent, vent with people that know you so that they have no reason to believe that your frustration is a definition of THEIR worth.
So, if you see someone you don’t know venting, don’t respond with anger.
Break the cycle.
And if it’s someone you do know, let them vent without feeling a need to stop them.
Once they’re done, then try to find out what’s really going on.
No one behaves rationally in the midst of their rage.
But if they’re harming someone in the process, then intervene in the most calm way possible.
Don’t escalate the situation further.
And remember, it takes a village…if you don’t have a village to support your efforts, pace yourself and adjust your expectations of what you’re capable of in line with your reality.
You can’t pour from an empty cup.
So start by being kind to yourself, before you sacrifice yourself in the service of others.

Today marks six years and it hasn’t gotten any easier. I know I say this every year and every year it remains the same. This year is no different from the past. Perhaps this year was worse. There was/is the pandemic and there were way too many instances that I wanted to share with you. Things I wanted you to see. Too many times I wanted to see your response, your smile, the light in your eyes. It has been a very hard year.
We too often take for granted that someone close to us is fighting their own silent battles. Dealing with demons that none of us may ever realize. We often never know until it is too late, the pain that someone is going through.
Someone who was such a bright star to everyone around her, to everyone she met. Someone that was such an inspiration to everyone she talked to. A kick ass superstar of the New York EDM scene. An awesome person that will be missed by more than I know she realized.
Not a day goes by without a thought of you.
We miss you Andrea. I miss you. You were more than just a great friend. You were truly loved.
For those of you out there struggling with your own demons. Please don’t let the fight get the best of you. If you feel that suicide is your only option, please just stop and reach out for help. I know it is probably the hardest thing to do. But please! You matter! Believe me, you matter!

And every time I try to pick it up
Like falling sand
As fast as I pick it up
It runs away through my clutching hands
But there’s nothing else I can really do
There’s nothing else I can really do
There’s nothing else I can really do
At all….
A smile can lie a lot!
