I typed “I’m not okay” three times last night and deleted it three times. It felt too vague and too heavy at the same time. So I stopped typing and sent Zaia a voice note instead: I haven’t slept properly in a week. Can you call me tomorrow? Five seconds. That was the whole message. Zaia called at 7:40. Who’s your Zaia? The one you’d actually want to hear back from. If you’re sitting on a message to them, skip the perfect wording. Say the plain fact and ask for one thing. “I haven’t been sleeping.” “Can we talk this week?” That’s enough. Yellow September ends tonight. Send it to them tonight … 🎗️ #YellowSeptember #SetembroAmarelo #MentalHealth #SayItOutLoud #RealConnection
