Here is the speech Illma gave: "Some artists paint to live music, today I painted to live YouTube comments for mental health awareness week.

"I started showing signs of anxiety at 9 years old. I never wanted to go to the store because I had convinced myself that the store staff were speaking about me. I eventually built up the courage to go, I told myself that if they did speak about me and my purchases they would surely be fired. By the time I was 12 I couldn't sleep most nights of the week. My mom would tell me to draw our monsters down on paper, when I was done drawing their scales, eyes and gaping mouths, I realized they weren't as big as I they were in my mind. When I was 16 I was suicidal and homeless. I caught myself crossing a bridge smiling at the thought of jumping off to the freeway below. I put myself into therapy with a big white room and a shrimpy little man who looked like he had the eyes of a tuna embedded into a mans head, his tiny eyes would always beckon the same question. 'How are you?'

'Good', I would reply.

The door would close.

'Now, how are you really?'.

This would frustrate me, why couldn't I just be good? It took years to understand the complexity of the human brain, I never did in that year, I wouldn't understand for years to come, nor do I to this day. My bag fell and with it my art works scattered across the floor. Ironically by accident my therapist told me exactly what I needed to hear. He said 'these are beautiful'. For the first time in my life I heard that the things I had kept inside of me, these monsters and demons were beautiful."
