This is extremely relatable.

I'm not okay, either. And I understand what you mean about not wanting to be a burden.

The thing is, being open about struggling doesn't make you a burden. That is just what society would have us believe.

Everyone struggles at times, and everyone needs support. Even us.

I’ve been pondering that question (at what point does “it’s ok to not be ok” turn into action?). I’m favouring moments of quiet rebellion, action, and plain talking, but I think there are systemic issues with our structures and there’s a big power base to overcome for meaningful change. This is why I still drink gin.
