"This piece for me was really personal. My idea was to try and contrast the way that people see me and the way that I see myself. Most people don’t realize the fact that I hate engaging in conversation because I’m afraid of what the other person is going to think of me or the fact that I have trouble trusting people and opening up nor the fact that I bottle up my emotions and push people away. I’m hoping that from this piece, people take away the following: everyone is always going through something, but you never truly know what they have to deal with, so be kind and don’t be too quick to judge and that mental health can fluctuate and that’s perfectly fine. It’s okay not to be okay. Overall, this piece was very personal, and felt a lot more vulnerable than I’m used to but I hope that in some ways, other people can learn from it." -Liyana Asaria-Issa, Whitby class of '19, GFA
