paper stars. - My sister used to fold paper stars and put them in bottles when she was younger. She might not have thought much of it, but to me, they have become poignant symbols of the nostalgic memory I had of childhood with her. She would have turned 31 yesterday.

Recovery from mental, emotional or physical burnout can take years. Even if you start prioritizing rest and you start living a softer life, your nervous system remembers the burnout and/or the trauma. Understanding this and being gentle and patient with ourselves is key

This is not about more mental health care. This is about NOT KILLING A HUMAN who is engaging in behavior you don’t understand, agree with, or particularly like. Keeping Jordan Neely alive starts with allowing him to be Black and Mad in public. To speak his truth freely.

I am extremely hesitant & resistant to name Jordan Neely as experiencing a mental health crisis. What makes it so? At what point do we call it a justified response? What is the purpose of being so quick to label ANYTHING that makes us uncomfortable as a mental health crisis?
