RIP - Robin Williams

No one is exempt from mental illness, no one. 

Today we lost a phenomenal comedian and human being. Robin Williams admittedly had a troubled passed and looked to have turned the page in creating a better life for himself. He had battled depression most of his life, but today lost the war.

As we all struggle with mental illness and its stigma, let us be reminded to fight the good fight and never give up. As long as we live, we are winning, regardless of how others see us. Support each other and remeber that you are never alone, no matter how dark and bleak things seem. Someone is there, reaching out their hand, all we need do is grasp it.

Though Robin Williams loss will leave a void, it will also shine a light on those of us still struggling. Be ready, tell your life's story, your struggles, your needs, and goals. 

Fight the good fight.
