Why community can help you in hard times
I recently went to very hard private times. I would like to share my experience how the friends I made through the Community, helped my through those times.
Why community matters and even if we are all apart and in different countries etc. we can be there for each other.
I will also give some view my personal experience, how I was public seen in the community and how I really felt. In public everything looked always nice and shiny, I was posting and making videos but behind the scenes, I was hardly depressed, stressed and lived in a private situation which burned me out through the last 4 years.
It will also be shared how you can work with yourself and peers to find a way out and why it matters not mascaraed in front of others.
