A Fair Trade

World Fair Trade Day is on the second Saturday of May and its purpose is to celebrate the contributions to the fight against poverty, exploitation, and climate change.

With the passing of World and National Fair Trade Day. I was reminded of the popular song by Drake and Travis Scott Fair Trade. Now the song and the holiday have nothing in common besides a name, I can attest that at times day to day living with a mental health disorder can become labor intensive.

[Chorus: Drake]

I’m outside, twenty-nine, G5, seaside

I’ve been losin’ friends and findin’ peace

But honestly that sound like a fair trade to me

If I ever hurt one and I’m still here

Outside, frontline, Southside

I’ve been losin’ friends and findin’ peace

Honestly that sound like a fair trade to me

“Peace of mind ” A much sought after commodity and in many cases It doesn’t come easy. What action must be taken to obtain peace of mind. medication, lifestyle changes , family, friends. The last can be the hardest who can get better without a support system. Sometime people can be the very thing delaying your journey and in some cases cutting people out of your life no matter how much you care for them. Sometimes this happens intentionally sometimes not. There is potential for fallout for decisions like this, but never feel bad about doing whats best for you for your own health. Just remember putting ones self first for peace and happiness is the better trade off.

-you cant get better in the same place that made you sick. –
