You are enough
May is Mental Health Awareness Month with the theme “You are enough.” The messaging fits a series of videos I’m working on about identity, existentialism and existential crises. Stay tuned for more.
You are the love the world needs
It’s not news that things just seem more and more depressing and disheartening out there. I posted this video a couple weeks ago after yet another mass shooting in the U.S. Only when we can love ourselves can we love others, and it’s what the world needs now. (Thanks, Burt Bacharach!)
