He continued, “It’s been a lot of work, but I think the last year and a half has been the most eye-opening and growing and beautiful and just healing process of my life.”
“And it just really made me see how culture is really starting to get to a place where mental health is really becoming a priority,” he concluded.
He went on to share that he now realizes that setting boundaries doesn’t make him an unkind person, adding that it is needed for every relationship.
