“Thanks to my ridiculous, sometimes tragic, and always unsteady upbringing, I was given the gift of bone-crushing insecurity. One thing you'll notice about people with mental problems is constant self-absorbation. I think that's because it's such a struggle just to be who they are, so they have a hard time getting past it.” PeopleThinkingSelfSometimesHardProblemPastGivenStruggleOne ThingConstantBonesRidiculousThanksCrushHard TimesTragicInsecurityUpbringing Author:Mark Oliver

“One thing I want to clarify - that every service member, veteran, wants us to remember - is that the vast majority of people returning from service come back completely healthy. But when we do come across someone who is struggling. We have to develop a culture of open arms and acceptance so that they feel comfortable saying, "I'm a veteran. And by the way, I need little help." This is something we need to do in this country around mental health as a whole - destigmatizing mental health.” PeopleWayWantNeedsFeelsLittlesCountryWholeHelpingRememberCultureStruggleOne ThingAcceptanceArmsHealthyMembersComfortableMajorityMental HealthVeteranWant UOpen ArmsLittle Help Author:Michelle Obama
“I had started acting when I was 7, and I was always wrong. I would always get to the very end [of the audition], but I wasn't a perfect package of one thing. I wasn't a cliche, and it always worked against me. I wasn't pretty enough to play the popular girl, I wasn't mousy enough to be the mousy girl. Then there was a TV show that Toni Collette was starring in. And when a role to play a girl who was struggling with identity came, I thought: "Oh, this is what I was supposed to do. Everything's leading up to this moment." I was 18. I was like, "This is it." I didn't get it. And I was devastated.” EndsEnoughPlayMomentsShowsGirlPerfectActingRolesStruggleOne ThingIdentityTvsTv ShowsAuditionsPackagesClicheDevastatedAlways WrongPopular Girl Author:Brie Larson
