Short Story:
“Thanks for sharing your struggle with anxiety. I have the same disorder. It’s really hard.” I hugged her and we cried. Then we smiled and went home after a B2B NIXYCLETHON. It was a beautiful night.
Only the NIXFITS know…
The highlight of my 2019 is a moment that is etched into my brain. Burns so bright. We attended the #ImagineDragons first ever concert in Riyadh, last November. Dude. Uff. Almhm. Lead singer, Dan, decides he wants to share his story right in the middle of his song #Demons.
Listen:
“I have one thing to share with you this evening. At the age of 14 years old I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. This does not make me weak. It’s part of my journey. It’s part of who I am. I would not be here today if it weren’t for a therapist who has sat by me and helped me for many years. If you are struggling with depression and anxiety please see a therapist. Do not go in it alone. You are not alone. And you are not broken. Your life is always worth living. Always.”
I see you, Dan.
Here’s where I’m at today:
“I understand now that I’m not a mess but a deeply feeling person in a messy world. I explain that now, when someone asks me why I cry so often, I say, “For the same reason I laugh so often - because I’m paying attention.”
I see you, Pizza Face.
Word to the wise:
“The distance you kept during my struggle - I’m gonna need you to double it during my success.”
I see you, Mad. (bismillah)
“Hustle until your haters ask if you’re hiring.”
I see you, lovers.
“It’s not about the بن, it’s about the Barista.”
I see you, Naj + Didi.
