Who are you?
I am Anthony Hernandez, a queer latinx man who values friendship, alone time, forgiveness, and compassion. I have dealth with mental health issues my whole life and value my experiences in that regard and love to help others dealing with mental health as much as I can.
What is it that you want to do?
I want to be happy. My definition of happy is being surrounded by genuine people that make me feel loved and respected, while also enjoying a career that affords me some luxuries such as traveling, a nice home, and the ability to never stress about bilis. I want to make a positive difference in the lives of those who come around me, without forcing anything. Just being myself and letting my energy do the work.
Why?
I want that because I feel like that is an obtainable goal without driving myself crazy or burning out. The question was phrased in a way that I wanted to give a realistic answer, my dreams are different and astronomical but those may or may not be realistic.
Where do you want to go?
I want to go somewhere that very few of my family has ever been. That is going to a place where I am comfortable with every aspect in my life, mental health, job, friends, income, etc.
What would you want to say?
I would want to say all the right things, but I know that is not going to happen. Early on in life I was obsessed with being perfect and it manifested as an adult in awful ways. It lead me to work with an OCD specialist and it has improved my quality of life significantly. Because I know saying all the right things is impossible I would truly want to say my best. Always putting my best foot forward verbally and taking responsibility whenever that does not happen.
