going nonverbal at the club

it's all too familiar experience feeling every other emotion on your birthday, but joy. the birthday blues are more common - sadness, anxiety, pressure, loneliness, reflection. but what if you didn't expect joy out of your birthday, and rather used it as a day to simply exist without overwhelming expecations. remember, it's YOUR birthday and u have one day of the year that is alllll yours. u can choose to not have a party, not sing happy birthday, spend it alone... the options are infinite. bc it's YOUR birthday. follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://grownkid.typeform.com/to/eZhv... overshare with us: grownkid.com Learn more about your ad choices.

recently gael has been sleep talking and um it's reaching a point. because on top of that, he's also been sleep walking and hitting. he must be stopped. anyways, it made us think... how much are we responsible for what we say or do in our sleep? like what if u accidentally share a secret... or say another person's name with ur lover next to u.. or u slap someone. how much of it is excusable because you're sleeping? follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://grownkid.typeform.com/to/eZhv... overshare with us: grownkid.com Learn more about your ad choices.

now hear me out... what if... we just all lived with our friends until we're old or married and hang out everyday and enjoy each others awesomeness. what's the appeal of living alone compared to this? having roommates gets a bad rep but when you can choose who you live with, it feels like family. so if ur thinking about getting that studio apartment to live by urselt, maybe think twice. follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://grownkid.typeform.com/to/eZhv... overshare with us: grownkid.com Learn more about your ad choices.

i know we're not the only ones that have felt very very VERY lost at some point in our lives. no school to guide us, no passion to follow, just an empty canvas for us to fill. that first streak can feel so daunting so how are we supposed to get on with it? what kind of live are we trying to live? how are we supposed to know? in this episode we chat about how maybe the answer is service and well... play! because to be in service of others, to commit yourself to a cause bigger than yourself, it is how you find a deep sense of fulfillment. and play is the other little secret to this. because you need to play and explore and do many many things to get the inspiration you need for a good life. so if you're feeling lost maybe the answer is simple: go serve, go play.  cunt asf no? follow us: @grownk1d @gaelaitor @_kaylasuarez join our social club: https://grownkid.typeform.com/to/eZhvsKGH?typeform-source=grownkid.com overshare with us: grownkid.com About our Partners: GrownKid is made in partnership with Joy Coalition where purpose driven content meets powerful storytelling.

For more on the Youth Mental Health Corps and how you can get involved in your state, go to youthmentalhealthcorps.org. This episode of GrownKid is sponsored by the Schultz Family Foundation, whose mission is to create greater opportunity accessible to all. Today, 45% of young people report mental health challenges, yet 62% of those who have struggled aren’t getting the complete care they need. To address this crisis, the Foundation, in partnership with Pinterest, launched the Youth Mental Health Corps. The Corps trains and places young adults as mental health supporters in schools and communities in 16 states so far.  These Corps members, who are close in age to the young people they serve, are having a real impact. Schools where they serve have seen fewer behavioral incidents and better attendance, and an increase in young people seeking help proactively. The Youth Mental Health Corps is continuing to expand-- helping thousands of young people get the support they need while also building careers in behavioral health.
