‘It’s Okay To Not Be Okay’

If you look down and pay close attention to the pavement in Toronto, you’re likely to find stenciled graffiti that tells you: “It’s okay not to be okay.”

 

“‘It’s increasingly becoming okay to talk about imperfections and not feel like you’re victimizing yourself or others by sharing these emotions,’ says Young. Part of this comes from the openness with which pop culture figures, such as Adele or Chance the Rapper, are sharing their experiences with depression or anxiety, or online campaigns like The Sad Collective and other Twitterbot accounts reminding users to take a break and drink some water, or even television shows set up entirely on the issue.”
