Repost @thatendogoddess —
@thatendogoddess elegantly spells out how our innermost struggles aren’t always obvious to the outside world. Thank you so much for continuing to fight the stigma surrounding mental health and for reminding us all that, despite outward appearances, everyone may be coping with their own mental health struggles.
