Finding Joy in Feeling Everything: Interview with Summer Haura

This week I had the opportunity to interview an inspiring individual in my life, Summer Haura. She is one of the most intentional people I have met since coming to college and has encouraged me to grow in so many ways. She is very in tune with her emotions and is a big advocate on campus for mental health. While preparing for our interview, I asked her what she wanted viewers to gain. Summer responded with, "While we want to be happy all of the time, I think it is so important that we allow ourselves to feel all of the feelings. Without feeling sad or angry or upset, we don’t gain the perspective we need to fully and truly appreciate the joyous times of our life. Feel everything, allow your feelings to exist, love them, and continue on." I hope you are as inspired by this conversation as I was!
