This is a mini opera that speaks of the journey of life and feeling lost, but being able to "call" for help when needed.

@Appleblossom all good 😊 At first I thought it was my brain playing tricks on me, then I thought "wow, Susan Sontag really was a woman of many talents!" 😆
I love the concept of expressing mental health struggles through opera – with opera being "an art form that tells a story through music and singing", it's kind of a natural fit for sharing the the highest of the highs, the lowest of the lows, and everything else that falls on the mental health spectrum.
Thanks for sharing, as well as for the food for thought 🤓
