I recently came across a wonderfully enlightening interview with the creator of Black Lagoon, Rei Hiroe, where he openly discussed his personal struggle with depression. It’s so inspiring to see someone of his stature being open about mental health. To me, it shows that no matter who you are, mental health challenges can affect anyone. I think it’s incredible that he’s using his platform to break the stigma and raise awareness for mental health. I believe it’s important for us to continue having these conversations, whether it’s on a forum like this or in our everyday lives, to support each other and let people know they’re not alone. I found the interview to be really uplifting, and it’s a great reminder that it’s okay to not be okay sometimes.
