A Letter to My Role Model
Hello AJ (god this sounds so weird), I don’t know if you’ll read this or not, but I wanted to write to you anyway (boldness maybe) in order to thank you for being an inspiration for me, for always standing up for yourself and most of all for making me feel confident despite my mental illness.

Bipolar Badass
Ever since my childhood, society told me that mental illness was a shame, a burden to carry secretly. My younger self was fed with the bad depiction in movies. I associated mental health with hospitalization, white clothes, screams, and the word crazy. That word resonated as offensive and almost taboo. Growing up I learned how to tackle serious subjects like this one, how the representation in movies wasn't always the reality of things, how mental health issues could affect anybody.
