      Life is hard. This world is often very cruel and difficult. And overwhelming. It’s all so very fragile and fleeting. Thinking of each of you today who may be struggling with the weight of it all. I love you. —Shaun

      4 ways I hope we will live our lives to honor Anthony Bourdain.... 1. Search out good food. Eat it. Tell everybody. 2. Find cultures other than your own. Value the people. Tell their stories. Lift them up. 3. Travel like crazy. 4. Speak out unapologetically on injustice.

          Anthony Bourdain didn't tell other people's stories. He listened to them. He asked questions. He cared. We could learn from that. #RIPAnthonyBourdain

          Did you know that if you text 741741 when you are feeling really depressed or suicidal, a crisis worker will TEXT with you? Many people do not like talking on the phone and would be more comfortable texting. It's a free service ran by The Crisis Text Hotline! #SuicidePrevention

          This. The hotline is a valuable resource, but for me personally, I never would have picked up the phone in the thick of my anxiety or depression.

          No discouragement! That's why I said for me personally. The hotline is still very important. I wish I knew about these resources when I felt like my only option was (inaccessible) therapy. Have a good day! <3

          That last point...why I feel we’ve lost one of the greatest influencers of our time. He was fearless and always voiced injustices as he saw them, even if it came from his own friends.

          Yes! Also such a key difference between 1) just finding other cultures and telling their stories 2) valuing other people and cultures and lifting them up. So many people just find different cultures and then tell their stories for them. Bourdain let people speak for themselves.

          I don't think we need to tell other people's stories (#2) but instead share their stories and give them the platform to tell it themselves.
