On this, the eve of my 30th birthday, I can’t take my mind off the trip to Canada earlier this year. I feel so grateful to Angela and Dan, the farmers for whom I volunteered, who literally saved my life. This time six months ago, I was on the brink of ending it. I honestly didn’t think I would make it to my 30th birthday. That trip was a huge turning point for me. If anyone is struggling, please don’t be ashamed of yourself or your emotions.
