Today has got progressively better as its gone on, for someone like me who spends a lot of time hoping around with a foot in my mouth, its rare that someone has the skill set and the ability or indeed the time to see through it and take the time to explain to me in a constructive and effective way.
But when it does happen, its a goose bump moment for sure, it means heaps and allows learning on my part, most people end up offended and cease to talk to me, every now and then a person comes along who understands and gets it, those people are rare and have a skill set that most of the time goes unrecognised, well i recognise those people because those people have what money cant buy and what Universities can not teach, nine times out of ten it comes from seeing the shitty side of life and not being beaten by it, which goes towards building a persons wisdom and EQ.
I'd like to say thank you to those people, thank you for going against the stereotype of misunderstood people who feel demonised because they struggle with mental health, and that for me folks is priceless, those people are a special kind of people, its one thing to recognise mental health because the tv says so, and its another thing to recognise mental health because you recognise suffering and your empathy comes as easy as the regularity of breathing, its these people that can make a difference to man staying in bed not washing and eating, to having their faith restored to the point that man says 'fuck it' i can get out of bed today, i can change, even if its only for today, i can.
