I thank Jonah Mowry for sharing his feelings to the world via a very emotional video. Global concerns, love, prayers and support are all pouring out for him for he sent us all a very strong message.
Jonah is a teenage student suffering from emotional distress after years of homophobic bullying. Life hasn't been easy for him. This is his story...
It moves you right? It broke my heart to see him introducing himself via index cards telling us what he went through. Jonah is alive and told us his story... gut-wrenching, leaving him into tears and most of us, as well.
His story is inspirational... reaching out to those who have suffered similar situations in life. The index cards containing the many times he confessed of having suicide as an option unveiled a really strong message in the end...
"I AM NOT GOING ANYWHERE, BECAUSE I AM STRONGER THAN THAT. I HAVE A MILLION REASONS TO BE HERE".
I sent Jonah a message of love and support all the way from the Philippines. He taught me a whole lot of things.. even as an adult, I sometimes struggle for sanity... we all do when it comes to rough times.
Sometimes it is not easy indeed to feel like we're the only ones in the world who's struggling, who's frustrated or unsatisfied but that feeling is all but a lie. Someone is bound to find us and help make things better if we just hold on because we all need a little help sometimes to remind us it's not always gonna be bad.
Jonah is an admirable young teenager... despite his emotional distress, he managed tell us that... we never know how strong we really are until being strong is the only choice we have in the world.
Soundtrack on Jonah Mowry's emotional video is "Breathe Me" by Sia which is appropriate for his cry for help. Lyrics here. Thank you, Jonah!
