“At #pelarian last year, we participated in making the video documentation of #pelarian via Syndicate TV. We are very happy to be able to contribute this year, in a different format, which is me sharing my experience in dealing with mental health issues. Bottom line is that I am ready to continue to support #pelarian,” Harris added.
“I had my share of mental issues from work environment. There was a certain party who ‘considered’ me too ambitious, and I felt pressured. Well, irt just so happened that to get away from the pressure I used to run. This is a positive and effective running. That is why I am so happy to be able to participate in the #pelarianweekender event right now,” Ayu concluded excitingly.
