Eliza Mae Winfree
Bio
My name is Eliza. The words "delightful" and "mess" have been used to describe me (in the same sentence). I write about music, mental health, politics, pop culture, and pop history. I love folk music, puppies, hot coffee, and poems.

Waiting
May is mental health awareness month and I, your obnoxiously woke friend, haven’t said anything about it. I’ve felt very self conscious about it, not because I have an “it” to talk about, but because I suddenly feel very inadequate. Who did I think I was to try to articulate any of the complexities of living with a mental illness? Why did I want to start talking about this in public and set myself any expectation to live up to? All I am now is a diagnosis, and, depending on who you are, that’s maybe not a good thing.
