Happy International Day of Happiness, guys! In Today's episode, we have the wonderful soul Kristina, who shares her mental health journey and opens up about the struggles of taking care of yourself in our society. You will also hear more about Collective Thoughts magazine! To finish up, we are sharing one of Kristina's poems for all the beautiful souls out there: 

“charades” 

how broken was she  

to seek out the darkness, 

ignoring the light in people,  

and their kindness. 

perfection blurred her vision  

comforting the wrong people  

not realising, 

she had a greater mission. 

satisfying others 

though fooling herself  

those were her ambitions, 

and not of her mothers regrets.  

step by step 

getting closer to perfection 

she realised, 

what she saw in the mirror, 

wasn’t her reflection.  

they ask her:  

who are you?  

expecting an answer 

full of degrees,  

achievements and relations.  

but she steals their breath 

with words of greater depth, 

telling them 

she’s non of the things 

she achieved, 

rather emotions,  

and values she kept.
