I've been mulling this topic for a while, and, to be honest, didn't think I had a lot to say on this yet. Turns out I have at least two posts. This is part 1.
Are you there, God? It’s me, Me. (part 1)
Introversion
With 33-50% of humans being introverts, it's important to understand who we are, how to engage with us, and to give us the space we need to recharge.

Over the past year, I've come across a number of images which, for one reason or another, stuck a chord with me, so I collected them. I'm sharing some of them with you.

Depression
In western cultures, mental health is largely misunderstood and often ignored. Those with mental conditions are often stigmatized.

It's also a philosophical issue, a safety issue, and a social issue (and a variety of other categories).
Are you mental?
Is gender dysphoria a mental disorder?
