I’ve been thinking about people who, if they’re either suffering through mental illness or they’re suffering through addiction, they have an everyday struggle, no one pats them on the back every day, but every day they are actively fighting something, but there are so many days that nobody gives them credit for that, and so, how often must somebody who’s in that sort of internal struggle must wanna say to everyone in the room, ’‘you have no idea how close I am to going back to a dark place“, or ”you have no idea“.
