They always tell us to check on our loved ones —
but how often do we really listen when someone says, “I’m fine”?
Behind bright smiles and comforting words, some are quietly breaking.
Even the strongest, even the advocates, even the ones who remind others to hold on—sometimes they forget to hold themselves.
It’s heartbreaking how “mental health matters” only becomes loud when another name turns into a hashtag.
But advocacy shouldn’t wait for tragedy.
It should live in the everyday — in compassion, in presence, in the courage to ask and truly listen.
Let this not be another passing post.
Let it be a promise —
to check in, to care deeply, to stay kind.
Because healing doesn’t start in the spotlight.
It starts when someone asks, “How are you, really?” — and means it.
Mental health matters. Today. Tomorrow. Always.
