Thank you for taking the time to click on the McAuley Drama blog, no matter if this is you first for twenty-first time. I’m glad you’re here! September 10 is recognized as World Suicide Prevention Day and McAuley’s Fearless Initiative launched a social media craze to bring it some attention. They challenged us to post a photo with a caption including #whyistay and an elaboration of what that looks like to us. As this topic grows in imperativeness for our ever-changing world, I felt even more called to reflect on this. Thankfully, this blog gives me an outlet to express some of these really important ideas. Buckle up, because you are here for a special, McDrama-edition of why I stay. Before I head into that though, I want to remind you of something that is resounding with importance: you. You are incredibly important and it is a miracle that you are here. Thank you for overcoming the days and weeks and months that pushed you to your limits; I hope that you have grown from them and are now better equipped to face the world today. Congrats on being who you are; no one else can replace your vibrant personality and unmistakable presence in the lives of people you encounter. You are meant to be here and you are so very loved. I’m glad you stay.
