    "Nobody else is going to fix that void - nobody else - I have to find that strength within myself. " - so raw and so insightful.

    You probably have heard this a bunch by now but I will add to their voices - You are BRAVE! What a powerful story to share. Thank you for being raw, real and honest. So hard in front of 500 people (and now the internet)... But I so firmly believe that when we present our vulnerabilities to others with sincerity, the universe gives us a massive hug in return. I hope this is your experience too.
    Much love and respect!

    wow! thanks for giving such a nice example of courage and not hiding in the face of pain.
    I especially got something from the point, when you contrasted supressing ones broken parts and accepting them plus the fact that no one else can do it. We heard that before, I think, but it came across very real from your speach.
    thank you.

    Thank you, Dylan. You are beautiful. You made me remember to be kind to my struggling parts and acknowledge that accepting vulnerability and working through our fears and sorrows is what makes us better able to help ourselves and others. You are empathetic, and wise. I hope your talk reaches a wide audience. This is what a hurting world needs to hear.

    Thank you for sharing this. You've expressed two important things - that mentally ill and homeless people are not just the dregs of society; they are mothers, daughters, family members. We tend to forget that and how difficult it is to not know how to help someone you care about. The other thing was that you felt your mother's mental illness was caused by her family not accepting her and that accepting yourself is what has enabled you to get through the fear of losing her. Your mother gave you the best gift a child can get - unconditional love. It's just such a shame she was denied that in her childhood.

    The 'flaws' in a piece of marble, the 'bumps' in woven silk and linen....the knots in..a tree..these are all examples of variation and beauty. In humans, if we can see that... in ourselves and others, then we are really ready to learn the lessons this can impart. Blest be.

    I knew you and your Mom when you were just a child. She was a wonderful, insightful woman. She was very sensitive to everything around her, a real empath. She loved you very much, I know that much. She just couldn't go on as she was. I'm SO glad that she is okay and that you are ok. Thank you for this talk, it answers a lot of questions I still had about that time.

    My story is not that different. I have had years and years of trying to fit in. Protecting my mother and other family members.
    How real this is.. How deep and profound. How meaningful..

    Bravo! I do hope that someday you can neuro-regularity. Psyche meds can (and do) deplete, but they offer a BIG stepping stone towards neuro-regularity and emotional hygiene. You deserve that. Good luck.
