I posted this message on my instagram in last november, because i wanted to support the  Idontmind campaign. I almost didn't, because i feared the response. But i did post it, and i'm proud of it. So now, on the last day of May, the Mental Illness Awareness Month, i post it in here too. Thank you for reading !

 So hey, guys! My name is Kyra, just an ordinary girl.

A persons most basic right is to be themself. And dare to be themself. Everybody has to accept that . We can't take that away from anybody. Because that would be like... like we would forbid their name.

I'm not perfect. None of us are. I have mistakes, not one, not two. Everyone has. Because I am a human being, as everybody else.

I don't mind to tell you that I struggled with anxiety with many times in elementary school, and in high school. I'm not good at fitting in a new environment.

But i learned that i should not be ashamed of who i am. I have to put myself out there, show my true self. My awkward, silly, goofy, nerdy, bookworm, clumsy self.

Just because who i am, my classmates started pick on me. Not physically, but verbally, mentally. Words hurts as much as actions, sometimes maybe more.

I am not a confident person. But i'm getting better at it. I'm less insecure than i was, but still am.

When i didn't feel well, i wasn't afraid to seek help. My parents were there and i'm grateful for it.

I moved on, but these scars and memories will always be there. These defines my every day life. Maybe that's way i'm so caring and emotional when i hear about bullying. Because i know what it's like to be bullied. And i wanna help to everybody, so they don't have to feel what i felt. No-one deserves that.

I don't mind to tell you that. Your soul is just as important as your physical. Let's help each other by talking about it. Let's give hope to everybody who suffers from depression, anxiety everday.
