Sometimes talking about depression feels like a confession. Point is that it shouldn't. The shame people feel exacerbates symptoms.

There are people in this world who avoid carbohydrates. They need our sympathy and prayers, not just ridicule.

Photo by @FransLanting I share this image in celebration of World Giraffe Day. A newborn Thornicroft’s giraffe rests in a thicket in Zambia’s Luangwa Valley—the only place in the world where this subspecies of giraffe is found. Leafy-shaped spots distinguish the Thornicroft's giraffe, which has a population of only 1,500, all living in the wild. Red-billed oxpeckers clean the young giraffe's fur of ticks and other parasites, a symbiotic relationship that benefits both. But the future for giraffes is uncertain: Giraffe populations have taken a sharp decline in recent years due to habitat loss and poaching, and they were recently placed on the IUCN’s Red List of Threatened Species. We need to stand tall for giraffes, and support the people and organizations who are fighting to protect them, including the World Wildlife Fund and the Giraffe Conservation Foundation. Follow me @FransLanting for more images of Africa’s remarkable wildlife. @natgeo @natgeotravel @natgeocreative #WorldGiraffeDay #Giraffe #Zambia #LuangwaValley #Newborn #BabyAnimals #WorldWildlifeFund #GiraffeConservationFoundation

🎶 This #WorldMusicDay we’re celebrating Thomas Edison a Music Tutor from Indonesia. 🎶 “I have felt what it’s like to serve the Lord through music, playing Christian worship songs, leading worship that is influenced by Scripture. When I play that music I have wisdom from God. And I want to share that with the children here. I would want every new generation here to grow in their passion for music. And when I’m too old to teach, I want to see a new generation of music teachers continuing to worship God.” #VoicesOfCompassion 🎵 #Music #drum #woodwind #guitar #shaker #worship #song #songs
