Every week now, somebody says to me,
"I'm struggling with tremendous shame
and guilt. I still don't have the proper
view on sexuality." If somebody would
have said a few of those lines to me at
11, 12, 13, or 14, the entire course of
my life would have been different. And
they're telling this to me in tears as
adults with families. And to me, in
terms of helping people, once a person
struggles with tremendous mental health
symptoms, anxiety, depression, shame, to
rebuild them takes a tremendous amount
of time and money and effort and they're
so pained and so broken. If we could
prevent this by having some
conversations by us standing up as
adults and yes, it's uncomfortable and
we didn't have models for this. And
that's why I spend so much time and
energy trying to give people a roadmap
on how to do this. We step up for these
kids. They respond.
