What You’ll Learn About Mental Health and Mental Strength
While no one can build mental strength for you, you don’t need to make your journey solo. Support from other people can be instrumental in helping you become the strongest and best version of yourself. It’s helpful for us to be reminded that we aren’t alone in our struggles. Opening up to people is hard sometimes but it can be really good for our mental health.
Quotes From Nathan
“The world is so fake online. Injecting a little bit of reality into it, even if maybe it’s a little bit too much reality, at the very least it’s refreshing.” “I don’t know if it’s just an American thing or a Western thing or a guy thing, but it also feels like when someone says, ‘how are you?’ you’re not allowed to say anything other than, ‘Oh, I’m good. How are you?’”
