Powerfully told, Winston. Throughout your story, I was taken through a whole range of experiences, some I related to, some I didn't, but through all of them, I could feel your emotion, and almost cried when you struggled to speak through the pain to continue telling your story, and I'm glad you did, because if you didn't, I never would've gotten to hear how this story ended, with you realizing you've always had the power to choose how you see things, how you interpret them, and how you feel about them, and realizing you're free.

So beautiful ❤

All your words geting deep on me really how we are far from each other but how similar we are in our issues.

How many of us around the globe suffering all what you mentioning here. Mental health is really a big issue.

I see myself in you.. Thanks for came out and talk. En courage us and show us the path.

That's how the world is we all see the shining star but nobody want to know how long this star been in dark space.

Some time ago I read an article about how people with schizotypal and gay people (some, not all, of course) have a same psychological phenomenom. Its that both have like a double life, between how they truly feel inside their head and how they have to act in front of other people. Im diagnosed with schizotypal, and Ive been having to act (mask) in front other people, hiding my thoughts, the same gay people have to live before they came out.

I love Franscesca ❤

Very moving! I've been struggling for years to forgive an extremely abusive mother. It's so hard!

Well done Taj! Your courage and vulnerability are amazing! I know your openness and willingness to share your story with others will make a difference in those who are also struggling 💗

Brutally honest and inspiring story. Thank you ❤God bless 🙏

This was an amazing presentation! Don't forget to add the burned in captions as well since it will help for those who might prefer to watch instead of listen. Introverts like me sometimes prefer to read.

I’m really glad I saw your story. May God bless you.

Powerful message 🙏🏻✨

Mariah-Jane's story is a story for every woman and man to hear, as she navigates her circumstances with compassion, humour and courage. She is an inspiration to those who seek to understand themselves, and who come to conclude that self-love is strengthened by specific actions that elevate the human spirit of compassion for self and others.

4 years and no comments? It’s long but I respect this man’s honesty and humility.

Congratulations to Winston. Working things out on stage in one of the most moving and personal stories I've ever witnessed performed live. Everyone may relate to something shared here that will empower them to forgive and move forward.

Rest in peace Jon 😢

Wow! It’s April!

Powerful story Michael. A lot of people (including me) could be helped by hearing what you say.

You are an AMAZING human Michael! Not only have you opened yourself up and been vulnerable (which is soooo difficult for most of us!), you've shown us all what being open to love, kindness, ongoing healing and growth can do! You are not only learning, but you selflessly pass your life lessons onto those that are ready to learn! I am one of the, I'm sure many, people that has been touched by all of those qualities. I have greatly benefitted from knowing you, and am blessed to count you as my friend! You create a safe place, not only for yourself, but for me. THANK YOU!

You are a motivation to all of us. Love it!

You are a true source of inspiration. Thank you for sharing, I absolutely adored it and have a lot of love for you ❤

Love this and love you!! You’re such an inspiration, So very humbly proud to have known you ❤️

Love this!

Wow, while listening to her speech, I felt what she experienced and agreed with her feelings when she was told about racism. It was truly inspiring, and I feel proud of her. Yes!! We need to speak out for the equality of all human beings. I hope her efforts regarding the multicultural festival in Coquitlam can succeed in our community.
