I connect with Rob Strand, a mental health advocate, an admirable writer, a boarding junkie, and a metal headbanger.

He shares his personal passages about his prevailing mental instability and the ways he has been able to not be defeated by it, rather identifying a bond with it.

As an athletic goer who feeds off of adrenaline in risk-taking situations, he gives a telling on how these body-pushing sports teach him how to respond to discomfort and pain while seemingly staying present and not reverting to the past.

In addition, he remarks on the gift of writing, embodying anger in a refreshing tone, and sobriety as supportive factors to his "mountainous climb. "
