  1. im late to this interview but i wanted to applaud JT for sharing his story and being so open (i haven’t finished watching the video yet but wanted to share some initial thoughts). im 20 years old and in my last year of university, and life has hit so incredibly hard this year. i got diagnosed with depression, suffer from PTSD, was and still continue to grieve the loss of someone who committed suicide in June, and was forced to quit 2 of my jobs due to workplace racism/discrimination (i quit by choice but i use “forced” moreso bc it was a toxic workplace environment and i already wasn’t in a good mental state). the most powerful thing my therapist told me is that nobody ever had their life all figured out. just when we think we do, life throws us another curveball. i went into fourth year thinking i had everything all planned out. i fast tracked all of my courses by taking summer school in my previous years (i did this in part bc my university has this issue with getting students into their required courses despite that they are mandatory to graduate lmao which usually results in ppl graduating late) but i still decided to drop a course and push it to summer school bc of my mental health. although my course load is pretty light this year, i knew one more course was gonna tip me over the edge so i dropped it. i know it may lead to me taking summer school or prolonging the completion of my undergrad, but it is necessary for me to recover. whoever is reading this and may feel behind in life, know that life is not a race. take it at your own pace bc life happens and we all can’t predict what will happen next. sending lots of love🫶🏻
