Are you busy re-posting shit mental health memes this month? Or are you busy doing something else? (Author’s own shoes, socks, and pic.)

Did you know that May is Mental Health Awareness Month?

Did you know that #itsokaytonotbeokay?

Did you know that some hot supermodel killed herself even though she was a hot supermodel?

Did you know that Ariana Grande speaks out to end the stigma around mental health?
