When you stand, don't stand for applause, stand for truth. Don't seek to be accepted, seek to be respected. Don't seek to be admired, seek to be remembered as someone who fought the good fight and having done all to stand, stand anyway.
Imagine a world where everyone has access to mental health care, regardless of their background.
