The 24 Year Haul

Simply put, my life hasn't been easy. Its been quite tough, actually. This is unfortunately the way it is for so many young people due to the fact that the world just plain sucks. I'm so tired of talking about mental health and therapy as if it's a bad thing. It's still a taboo topic which is why many people, young and old, including myself are scared to talk about it or to get help. I personally think about mental health as if it's a disease, because it is but instead of it being physical its emotional/mental. I think that employees should be allowed to take mental health days like any other sickness but unfortunately big corporations like Taco Bell (speaking from experience) don't care how you feel and think if you need a mental health day that you're just trying to get out of work. To them you're just a number.
