I am standing on my desk...

I am standing on my desk because I was compelled to by the beauty and joy that Robin Williams saw in this world, and in turn shared with us. A man of rapid fire humor, and incredible emotional access. He felt like a friend because he was one. And he shared every corner of himself with us.

I am standing on my desk because the rhetoric on mental illness needs to change. No one should feel so lost that they suffer in silence. No one should feel so ashamed that they leave us before their time. No one should feel so alone that they are suffocated by the guilt they feel because they can't bring themselves to be happy.

I am standing on my desk, because I know there is enough love in this world to end suicide. We just need to access it. Carpe Diem.
