I tried to inspire a social media trend that focuses more on sharing our mental health and less on looks. The purpose of the trend is to encourage others to share in a comfortable way, ending the stigma of talking about mental health. […] People tend to keep up with appearances and care excessively for their reputations on social media. Rarely do we reveal our innermost thoughts, especially when those thoughts revolve around mental health.
