Mental Health Awareness Month – A Thank You from My Heart

Mum reminded me that this month is Mental Health Awareness Month. It made me stop and think about my own journey.

For a long time, I didn’t feel good about myself. I used to think I wasn’t as good as other people. I felt different and like I didn’t fit in. Because of that, I had very low self-esteem and I didn’t believe in myself.

But things are better now. I’m in a good place. And that’s because of the people in my life who have always stood by me. They love me, help me, and remind me of the truth.

There’s someone very special who always says to me, “You are a good and perfect gift from God. You are not less-abled — you just learn and do things in your own way.”
You probably know who that is — my mum.

I want to say a big thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me. Your love has made me stronger.

This is also how Embrace Your Uniqueness started. I wanted to help others feel proud of who they are. I want people to know:

You are special. You are unique. You are enough.
Don’t let the world tell you who you should be.
You get to decide who you are.
