On this last day of May, a.k.a. Mental Health Awareness Month, I'd like to think that my show's helping somebody out there, someone who might be struggling. It is my hope that my show's making them forget about their struggles, even if it's just for few minutes. For the last 5-7 years, I haven't been in the great place either, and it's much harder if you don't have a family anymore. Every day, I just take it in, and deal with it the best I can, on my own. If you know someone who might be fighting their own battle, take the time to make them feel loved. Little goes a long way. Cheers.
