Running for My Life

What made you decide to share your story now?

“I wrote the “Running for My Life” chapter in The Lemonade Stand 2 because I feel like we need to have more open conversations about mental health, especially in light of the events of this past year. Too many young souls are falling culprits to depression or suicide in this noisy world. I decided it was time to open up and share my story. 

It’s hard to be vulnerable in this area that is usually filled with much shame and guilt, and I didn’t want to end up back in that place by drawing out all these emotions, but I knew it was time. It was time to share the story I’ve hidden for years in an effort to help support anyone else who may be dealing with negative thoughts or feelings. I wanted to share that there are hope and light in the midst of the darkness. “

“I trust in you, O LORD; I say, ‘You are my God.’ My times are in your hands.” (Psalm 31:14-15 NIV)
